Tri-M Music National Honor Society

What is Tri-M Music National Honor Society?

The Tri-M Music Honor Society® is the international music honor society for middle/junior high and high school students.

What does this society do?

It is designed to recognize students for their academic and musical achievements, reward them for their accomplishments and service activities, and to inspire other students-to excel at music and leadership.

What is required of me to be in Tri-M?

Because Tri-M® is an honor society rather than a social club, members can't just join, they have to be chosen by their advisor. All honor societies have standards, also called criteria, that students have to meet before they can become members

1. You have to be (or have been) in a school music ensemble or class for at least one semester of the current school year

2. You have to have maintained a B average grade (or equivalent) in music, as well as at least a C average grade in your other classes during the last semester

3. Your advisor is looking for members who demonstrate respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

Why should I join Tri-M?

1. The Tri-M Music Honor Society® recognizes and rewards students based on their accomplishments and service activities.

2. Having a Tri-M chapter at your school gives a boost to your school music program

3. Chapter service and community activities show the entire community how important music is in your school. So, the next time it comes to budget cuts, your chapter activities can help make sure that music stays in your school

4. Tri-M is a chance for all members of your music program-meaning both the vocalists and the instrumentalists-to work together toward common goals under the leadership of school faculty

5. Tri-M gives you the chance to learn new skills through service activities and ta.king leadership of chapter projects
