Participation In Band Will Help You Succeed In Life!
Research confirms that music education in school greatly increases the likelihood that a child will grow up to seek higher education and ultimately earn a higher salary. If you want to be a CEO, college president or even a rock star, the message from this study is: take music. As with reading, writing and arithmetic, music should be a core academic focus because it is so vital to a well-rounded education and will pay dividends later in life, no matter the career path taken. Official Report, Harris Research Center, 2007
In a 2000 study, 73 researchers found that teens that play an instrument are less likely to have discipline problems. American Music Conference, 2000.
Students who can perform complex rhythms can also make faster and more precise corrections in many academic and physical situations, according to the Center for Timing Coordination, and Motor Skills. - Rhythm seen as key to music's evolutionary role in human intellectual development, Center for Timing, Coordination, and Motor Skills, 2000.
A ten-year study indicates that students who study music achieve higher test scores, regardless of socioeconomic background. - Dr. James Catterall, UCLA. 2009
Students who are rhythmically skilled also tend to better plan, sequence, and coordinate actions in their daily lives. - Cassily Column of the TCAMS Professional Resource Center, 2000.
In a 1999 Columbia university study, students in the arts are found to be more cooperative with teachers and peers, more self-confident, and better able to express their ideas. These benefits exist across socioeconomic levels. - The Arts Education Partnership, 1999.
College admissions officers continue to cite participation in music as an important factor in making admissions decisions. They claim that music participation demonstrates time management, creativity, expression, and open-mindedness. - Carl Hartman, "Arts May Improve Students' Grades," The Associated Press, October 1999.
