My children have ipods and now also have iphones. When you download any music from itunes will it show up on both devices or will it only be one the device the itunes were put onto?

It depends upon what country that you are in and what settings you've set on those devices. Music can't be redownloaded in all countries, but for those where it can be you will have an automatic downloads setting in Settings > iTunes & App Store for music, which if 'on' will mean that when a song is bought on that account on another computer/device then it will automatically download on that device as well - if you don't want that to happen then make sure that it's 'off'.
With iOS 7 (and for countries where music can be redownloaded) there is also a Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'Show all' heading) setting which means that music that is only in the cloud (i.e. it hasn't been downloaded onto that device) will show in the Music app - turn that 'off' if you don't want them to show.
