The Loudspeaker Network

This time last year, my oldest son chose choir as his middle school arts elective. At this time, I think he chose it because he thought it was the easy route out (he was not a fan of the practice requirements of band). A year later and he not only performs in his grade level choir but an extra-curricular choir as well AND practices at home without being asked. Always shy and never the child that I thought was a performer, he blossomed in choir in ways that I never expected and it is joy to watch him perform.

In another episode of our Boys Beyond the Ball series (episodes that highlight the experience and benefits of activities outside of standard team sports) today we are talking to Joseph Perron, choir director at Lesher Middle School in Fort Collins, about what it is like having participated in music as a child, the benefits choir can have on boys today and both the expected and unexpected skills that one grows as a result.

Topics

• Participating in music as a child (3:33)
• What commitment to music looks like (7:38)
• How music helps boys in adolescence (11:52)
• Middle choir programs (19:01)
• Challenges boys face today (24:30)
• Skills that being in a choir grows (32:35)
• Unexpected skills gained by boys in choir (36:36)
