70% of college admissions in major universities say high school achievement in the arts are significant considerations for admissions!
Students in public school music programs score 107 points higher than average on the SAT!
Music provides a creative outlet and a break from the routine and rigor of the traditional school day. Students in music are among the highest academic performers and still report less stress and tension than their non-musical counterparts.
Through music, students become better people as they develop self-discipline, confidence, commitment, responsibility, good decision making, and personal pride. They are able to do this with the support of peers in a safe and risk-free environment.
