MUSICSTAR® Means Improved Student Attendance

A 2009 Gallup Poll shows that 95% of those participating in music classes agree that playing music is fun! Let MUSICSTAR® add a huge FUN-factor to your program and watch your student attendance figures rise accordingly! It is true that schools with music programs have higher attendance during and after school. While we at MUSICSTAR® believe in making education engaging, enriching and fun, we also know that it is not only the huge FUN-factor that keeps students attend regularly, but it is also the sense of discipline that music classes teach and require of students. As 88% of parents observed, music classes teach children discipline. This is an inherent phenomenon of active music education. Music classes require consistency, practice and a long-term commitment from students. Each class builds on the one before, and as all MUSICSTAR® programs include special public student performances, students work on mastering material for these showcase events almost from the very start of a program. Reachable goals are set from the get-go. As making music in groups is just as important as performing music as a soloist, music classes help build a strong team spirit amongst students. In fact, 97% agree that school music programs are a good way for young people to develop team work skills, and 93% agree that participating in a music program helps children make friends!
