The Advantages of Chorus

Choir class is just another boring school assignment with no benefits whatsoever, right? Wrong! Consider these thoughts on how chorus can help you both during school and after the last bell rings:

It’s a confidence builder.

Studies show that students feel better about themselves once they’ve performed with a chorus. Think about it: You’re able to dress up and perform in front of all of your friends and family––that takes guts. After that, a book report or a class presentation should be no sweat.

Chorus is a social network.

Ever seen Glee, The Sing-off or Pitch Slapped? Nothing beats the feeling of togetherness you get from singing in a group. Experts even say choral singing creates a special “family” atmosphere. Jocks, math whizzes, cheerleaders, science geniuses—when the lights go up, you’re all just part of a team of performers. Chorus will most likely introduce you to some new people and expand your group of friends.

Music helps you perform better in school.

Lots of what goes on in choir class can be applied to your other school subjects. Because music is a product of history, literature, and math, you’re bound to pick up some helpful information while singing in a chorus.
