According to the Chorus Impact Study commissioned by Chorus America, results show that choral participation cultivates positive attributes in singers, which in turn, benefits communities. Choral singing promotes critical thinking & collaboration, which are two invaluable skills necessary for 21st Century innovation. The results further show that children who sing in choruses have academic success and valuable life skills. Additionally, both parents and educators (from every discipline) attribute a significant part of a child’s academic success to singing in a choir.
