Although many see band as a class on learning to play an instrument, it is much more than that. It is the development of a family of friends that lasts a lifetime. It is also the establishment of some rather profound environmental influences that will determine much of your student's success not only in music, but also in all aspects of their education.

One of the most positive impressions you can offer your student is the chance to learn self-discipline at the highest level by participating in band. Their social skills, communication skills, self-concept, cooperative talents, and creative mind will all be nurtured through their study of music. These life-skills will serve as an important foundation as they take on various responsibilities in their future.

Studies have shown that students who study an instrument during their developmental years have a tendency to do extremely well in all other academic areas due to the higher level of artistic thinking that is developed. Students who study music have also proven to score higher on the SAT and ACT. We have numerous Stillwater Band students who have been Valedictorians, National Merit Scholar Finalists, and recipients of countless college scholarships.
