Abstract

This senior capstone examines the relationship between the benefits of music education and college attendance. In today’s society, college is important. It is necessary to promote high school students to attend college. Through the use of two surveys, an interview with a school music director and extensive literature review, this research seeks the answer to the question “how educators promote college attendance through music education to high school students.” The findings reveal that the difficulties encountered by high school students are the lack of interest in extracurricular activities. Music education activities may be an opportunity for high school students and motivate them to attend college.
