ARTICLES

Choir parents, we are so happy that you decided to make your child a part of this amazing group of students.  You may have had to select between many programs and electives, and may feel like you are giving your child an "easy out" by putting them in the arts, or that they need only science and tech courses to be successful.  As music teachers, we could not disagree more, and in the last year, more and more studies are showing that the arts are an integral component of a successful and complete young adult.  

Here are just a few, but more will be added.
