  Benefits of Chorus

• Chorus participation helps children develop in many ways.  Research has shown that music education improves children’s academic abilities in reading and math.  Music education also teaches discipline, perseverance, teamwork, dependability, and pride in results. Troubadour singers learn to model the behaviors needed for success in life. In addition, our chorus uses its music in service to the community and bring our school together.
