Why You Should Join

Choirs help build community, foster good relationships, and give children a sense of pride and accomplishment.

In Champions of Change: The Impact of the Arts on Learning, the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities discovered that: “When well taught, the arts provide young people with authentic learning experience that engage their minds, hearts and bodies. Engagement in the arts…nurtures the development of cognitive, social, and personal competencies.”

For these reasons, children who are trained in music and the other arts tend to do better in math and science.
