There are many benefits to playing in band. Playing together is all about cooperation, teamwork and learning to follow direction as a group. You get to spend time with people who share your love of music and make new friends in the process.
Band is a fun and constructive way to spend your time. It gives you something new and interesting to do that builds important skills you’ll need in school and later in life. Learning to read music improves pattern recognition, a skill that’s essential in all academic areas. Kids in band tend to do better in science and math, have better organizational skills and are more likely to do well when the time comes to take the EOGs. |
