Enjoy our SMHS Chorus slideshows of the photos taken during our spring show. Our SMHS Choruses performed their traditional choral pieces followed by the annual student choreographed spring show. Bel Canto, Camerata and Bella Voce perform a medley from Newsies while the Chanticleer choir performs a medley from Little Shop of Horrors.
“Plato once said that music ‘is a more potent instrument than any other for education.’ Now scientists know why. Music, they believe, trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. Researchers at the University of California studied the power of music by observing two groups of preschoolers. One group took piano
lessons and sang daily in chorus. The other did not. After eight months, the musical 3-year-olds were expert puzzlemasters, scoring 80% higher than their playmates did in spatial intelligence - the ability to visualize the world accurately."
