Abstract

Research has shown that students involved in music at a young age, with teacher and parental support, have a higher occurrence of participating in music at the secondary level. This research project compares two groups of elementary students (those in choir and those not) to determine whether participation in a choir at a younger age leads to higher participation in secondary music ensembles.
