IN THE WORDS OF MUSIC STUDENTS…
“Music class is one of the best experiences you can get at a school, you will make lifelong friends and learn many important life lessons.”
“You have no musical talent? So what, a lot of the best players in band don’t have musical talent necessarily, they just worked really really really hard and that’s how they got so good.”
“Studies show it’s good for your brain.”
“You will make a new family who will support you.”
“Concerts are always fun because you get to hear many types of music”
“You make lots of new friends.”
