10 Reasons to join a chorus

They get to be loud and soft

Kids get told all day long to quiet down by teachers and adults, but in choir, they’re actually encouraged to make noise–– a lot of noise!

Build long-lasting friendships

More than 42 million Americans sing in choruses, so they’re bound to find some new buddies. Those rehearsals and practices combined the excitement of performing together forges friendships and provides a unique support system.

Begin their path to stardom

Mega-celebs like Beyoncé and Hugh Jackman started their careers singing in school and church choirs. Even former President Obama was once a choral singer.

Get better grades

Reading music, memorizing lyrics, and singing out loud are all skills that can also be used in the classroom. Singing encourages communication, and increases vocabulary and language skills. Memorization strategies can be applied to all subjects in school. Who still remembers the song for states and capitals? There’s a few, but the one from Animaniacs is our all-time fave.

See the world

Many choirs go on tours to exciting and faraway places. Some compete in national competitions in other states.

Boost self-confidence

It takes guts to get up and sing in front of an audience. What’s great about choral singing is that your child won’t have to be up there alone. They’ll stand alongside their peers and know that participating creates a sense of pride and spirit. Kids will take that confidence with them wherever they go—to participate in sports, answer questions in class, stand up for beliefs, or try new things.

No schlepping

No need to lug around huge duffel bags of heavy equipment to singing rehearsals. Just bring your voice!

Make college applications shine

Admission folks will love seeing your teen be involved in extracurricular activities—especially an activity like choir, which develops teamwork skills and self-discipline.

Appreciate cultural diversity

Songs are passed down through generations as symbols of a culture’s beliefs and values. By exposing kids to music and languages from around the world, they begin to develop a deep appreciation of other culture’s traditions.

Singing just makes everyone happy

Whether it’s the performer singing out loud or the audience singing along, singing just makes everyone happy. Period.
