REASONS STUDENTS DO BAND
IN HIGH SCHOOL
You Become a "Do-er"
While most of the other classes on campus involve listening or observing, band teaches you to do. You learn how to perform, be flexible, and how to communicate and cooperate with other across groups.
You Brain Grows!
Learning music helps develop the areas of the brain involved in language and reasoning, but it also teaches students how to think creatively and solve problems. Studies also show a link between music and spatial intelligence, which is vital for solving all types of things—from mathematics to how to efficiently pack up a moving van. It’s no wonder that students who study the arts are more successful on standardized tests and also achieve higher grades.
