Benefits of Band
- Students of the arts continue to outperform their non-arts peers on the SAT, according to reports by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students in music performance groups scored 57 points higher on critical reading, 43 points higher in math and 58 points higher in writing. – The College Board, Profile of College-Bound Seniors National Report
- While other disciplines may often focus on development of a single skill or talent, the arts regularly engage multiple skills and abilities. Music requires the integration of eye-hand coordination, rhythm, tonality, symbol recognition and interpretation, attention span, and other factors that represent synthetic aspects of human intelligence.
- Band reinforces the skills of cooperation which are among the qualities now most highly valued in business and industry, especially in high-tech contexts. Members are required to shift from an I/Me focus to a We/Us focus. Band is a group effort which focuses on critical thinking and problem-solving to achieve group goals in every rehearsal and performance.
