Why Band and Choir Are a Game-Changer in Middle School
As your child steps into middle school, it’s the perfect time to get them involved in something that brings joy, purpose, and connection to their day — and Band or Choir is the place to find all of that and more.
Being part of a music ensemble is more than just learning how to play an instrument or sing a song — it’s about joining a team that builds confidence, responsibility, and lifelong friendships. Music students learn to listen to each other, support their peers, and take pride in working toward a shared goal — all while having a ton of fun along the way!
Here’s what music does for your child:
· Social & Emotional Growth: Band and choir give students a built-in community — a place to belong. They make friends faster, work on social skills in a positive and structured setting and feel more connected to school.
· Academic Advantages: Numerous studies show that music students often perform better in core academic areas, develop stronger memory and focus, and are more likely to stay engaged in school.
· Stress Relief & Emotional Wellness: Making music helps reduce anxiety and gives students a healthy outlet for emotions — something especially important during the middle school years.
· Life Skills That Stick: Time management, responsibility, perseverance, leadership — students in music programs grow these skills naturally through rehearsals, performances, and team-based learning.
· Exciting Opportunities: From school concerts and assemblies to field trips, festivals, and community performances, students in music get to travel, perform, and celebrate their hard work in fun, meaningful ways.
And here’s something we want every family to know: If you're concerned about the cost of an instrument, uniform, or event — please don’t worry. Our school has systems in place to make sure every student can participate, regardless of financial circumstances. We have instruments to loan, scholarships for trips, and caring teachers who will work with you. No student will be left out due to cost.
Band and choir are about inclusion, teamwork, and building something beautiful together — and every child belongs here.
Give your child the gift of music — it’s an experience that supports their well-being now and sets them up for success in life.
Sincerely,
Emily Suter, your SMS music teacher.
