The Tri-M Music Honor Society is the international music honor society for middle/junior high and high school students. It is designed to recognize students for their academic and musical achievements, reward them for their accomplishments and service activities, and to inspire other students to excel at music and leadership.
I hope this message finds you well. I’m excited to share an exciting opportunity for our music programs and students: the Tri-M Music Honor Society.
As you know, Tri-M is the only national honor society for student musicians in middle and high school. Its mission is to recognize students for their musical achievements, academic excellence, leadership, and service. Establishing a Tri-M chapter at your school can have several benefits:
- Elevate student recognition: Tri-M honors students for their musical accomplishments while also highlighting their commitment to academics and leadership.
- Encourage leadership and service: Students gain meaningful experiences by organizing performances, service projects, and outreach opportunities.
- Strengthen your music program: Having a chapter can attract more students to music, build school pride, and increase visibility within your community.
- Open doors for students: Members are eligible for awards, scholarships, and national recognition that can support their future educational and musical endeavors.
Starting a chapter is a straightforward process, and support is available every step of the way. I encourage you to consider this opportunity to further enhance your students’ musical journey and empower them through leadership and service.
If you’d like more information about establishing a Tri-M chapter, please feel free to contact me directly. I’d be more than happy to share resources, answer questions, and assist with the application process.
Together, we can inspire our students to achieve more, serve more, and shine brighter through music.
