Why Sing? It's Good for Everyone.

With economic cutbacks, school districts may consider cutting choral activities. That would be a big mistake according to
The Chorus Impact Study (.pdf), for findings show that adults who sing in choral groups are good citizens in their communities, and children who sing in choral groups generally do well in the academics and learn to work with others as a team. A great majority of educators surveyed recommend that students join choral groups and believe that participation in such groups helps students with social skills, sense of community, and even school attendance. The study noted a decline in opportunities for students to participate in choral groups, which is a great concern.
