A young person’s early introduction to choral singing improves his socialization, community involvement, and the development of academic skills. Youngsters who are highly involved in the arts are more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, to be elected to class office, win a school attendance award, to participate in a science and math fair, and to win an award for writing an essay or poem.

With your support, the dream for an even stronger, more vital music BCCC education program—that benefits the individual and the community—is within our grasp.
