BBB Speech Series - Music Learning Helps Careers
“What am I even going to say?”
It’s the thought many of us have just before stepping up to the mic at a concert or showcase. We want to thank families, highlight student work, and say something meaningful about the value of music—but when time is tight and pressure is high, words don’t always come easily.
That’s where the BBB Speech Series – Music Learning Helps Careers quietly steps in.
With six short, ready-to-go speeches, this series helps music teachers speak to the long-term impact of music learning—without starting from scratch. Whether you're at a school concert, graduation, or information night, these 3–4 minute speeches offer something more than a thank-you. They help parents and community members see how music nurtures skills students will carry far beyond your classroom.
One teacher might choose “The Coder Who Could Improvise” to speak about creativity and flexibility at a spring concert. Another might save “The Listener Who Kept Growing” for the final assembly of the year. However you use them, these speeches help build a consistent, thoughtful message over time.
Because sometimes, the most powerful advocacy happens when the music pauses—and the message is clear.
