Yes, it`s an interesting question, but just replacing classical music with a list of something else obligatory is surely not the way to go.
I was only taught about classical music in school, except for one memorable occassion when a visiting American teacher played a couple of songs from The Paul Simon Songbook in our English class. Maybe it was that kind of extreme behaviour that caused him to leave after only six months.
Carl Orff, btw, has written some nice material for children :-

I wonder if you have any special Zappa in mind for the kids, Jackhammer - maybe Dinah Moe Hum or something ?
