First, learning to read music and mastering an instrument can fill otherwise idle time, and the need for frequent practice requires using time productively to become skilled. Also, through their music, young people have the opportunity to use that talent to perform in nursing homes, for example, where they can also spread the good news. Or they may visit several shopping malls, which allow groups to sing, especially at holiday time. There are many ways to keep your young people productive through music. Music can build unity within your school.
Students display unity at sporting events, student conventions, and combined opening exercises.
Singing groups can also build unity. The messages of the songs change attitudes and actions in students, bringing about harmony in the school. Involvement in putting on a Christmas or Easter program, with everyone working together for a common goal, brings the young people together. These are all character-building opportunities. Music can be the common bond which can build unity in your school.
