IHS choirs believe that all students can envision their full potential through creating music together in a family environment that fosters care, compassion, inclusivity, and respect. We live in possibility and thrive in "failure" - using it to propel us forward to greater accomplishments.
Why sing in choir? (Audition info for Chamber Chorale and Treble Ensemble below)
1. *****It makes you a more attractive candidate to colleges and sets you apart!
2. The more you study music, the better you’ll do in math, science and English. (Journal of Educational Psychology https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/edu)
3. Reduces stress
4. ******Meets your A-G Arts requirement
5. Increases confidence and self-esteem
6. Travel to places like New York, Canada, Hawaii, and more!
7. Students who sing in choir have greater academic success and more advanced social skills (studies by The American Psychological Assn. and Chorus America)
8. Develop leadership, teamwork, resilience, persistence and self-discipline skills
9. It’s a second family who supports you and a place where you belong.
10. It’s fun!
And no, you never have to sing by yourself
