Benefits of Being in Band

Picture
We believe that studying music in band is its own reward.  Music is a universally practiced form of art, and to understand it through performance is a vital part of every child's education.  In addition to its inherent merits, playing in the band has been found to have all sorts of other correlations, including higher standardized test scores, improved life skills, greater success in the workplace, and even positive changes in brain structure!  Don't just take our word for it, read some of the links below:
