Concerts are a very important part of your child’s participation in the music program. Because a concert performance can make some people nervous, there are a few things you as an audience can do to make our concerts less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.

1. Please be seated before the starting time of the concert. 2. If you are bringing small children, please stress the

importance of being quiet while the music is being performed.

3. If you must leave for any reason, please do so between musical selections. Please re-enter between selections as well.

4. If you have a small child who will not stop crying or can’t sit still, please take him or her out of the performance room quickly and quietly.

5. Please avoid taking photos during the performance. The flash can cause a problem with reading the music or following the conductor.

6. Please do not talk during the performance. Others may want to hear the music. It may be their child’s “big part”.

7. Please do not call out your child’s name before, during or after the group’s performance.

8. Please turn off all cell phones before the performance begins.

Let’s do what we can to make all concerts a huge success!

A 1985 study by Edward Kvet showed that student absence from class to study a musical end does not result in lower academic achievement. He found no difference in academic achievement between sixth grade students who were excused from class for

instrumental study and those who were not, matching variables of sex, race, IQ, cumulative achievement, school attended, and classroom

teacher.

- Cutietta, Hamann, and Walker, Spin-Offs: The Extra-Musical Advantages of a Music

Education

“Studying music strengthens students' academic performance. Studies have

indicated that sequential skill-building instruction in art and music integrated with

the rest of the curriculum can greatly improve children's performance in reading

and math.”

- Martin Gardiner, Alan Fox, Faith Knowles, and Donna Jeffrey,

"Learning Improved by Arts Training," Nature, May 23, 1996.

S“It is our job, as parents, educators, and friends, to see that our young people have the opportunity to attain the thorough education that will prepare them for the future. Much of that education takes place in the

classroom. We must encourage our youngsters in such pursuits as music education. In addition to learning the valuable lesson that it

takes hard work to achieve success, no matter what the arena, music education can provide students with a strong sense of determination,

improved communication skills, and a host of other qualities essential for successful living.”
