Students obtain knowledge that they will be able to use for the rest of their lives in whatever careers they may choose. 

    音乐 involvement translates to academic success. Students who have participated in the 音乐 Program have typically been top academic performers in the school. Many of these same students have been offered music scholarships to the colleges of their choice even though they may choose a different field of study. The latest studies indicate that students who participate in music earn higher standardized test scores than students who have no involvement in music.
