MUSIC can help students:

Succeed in society - by learning how to work with others toward specific goals
Succeed in school - students in music have better attendance and typically make above-average grades
Succeed in developing intelligence - music can help students in other classes, like math, history, and even English PLUS students involved in music and the arts typically score higher on SATs!
Succeed in life - well-rounded students make well-rounded citizens…the study of music is one aspect of a well-rounded individual!
