Help students manage the pressure: NEW School Stress Toolkit!
A ready-to-use toolkit that helps music educators increase concert attendance, strengthen parent engagement and turn performances into powerful advocacy opportunities.
Concerts are some of the most visible moments in your music program. But getting families to attend consistently, and helping them understand the value behind what they see on stage, can be a challenge.
The Concert Attendance Toolkit gives you practical, research-informed resources to build excitement, strengthen parent understanding and make every concert an opportunity to show your community why music learning matters.
WHAT YOU GET
1 Staff Professional Learning Activity exploring concert attendance, parent engagement and advocacy
7 Printable Parent Handouts highlighting the wider benefits of music learning
5 Shareable Research Bites for emails, newsletters and concert promotion
6 Sequenced Professional Learning Activities from the BBB Make Concerts Unmissable Book
5 Ready-to-Read Concert Speeches to bring music advocacy directly into your performances
A complete digital toolkit ready to download and use
HOW TEACHERS USE IT
Build interest and engagement in the lead-up to concerts
Share Research Bites through emails, newsletters and parent communications
Give families Parent Handouts before or during performances
Work through the Professional Learning Activities with your music team
Rethink how concerts are positioned, promoted and experienced
Deliver the ready-to-read speeches during concerts
Use performances to help audiences understand what students are gaining through music learning
WHY IT WORKS
Families may know when the next concert is, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they understand why being there matters.
This toolkit helps you build greater understanding before, during and after your concerts. Rather than treating performances as standalone events, you can use them to strengthen connection between families, students and your music program.
And once your audience is in the room, the ready-to-read speeches and advocacy resources help you make the most of their attention — turning the concert into an opportunity to build greater understanding and longer-term support.
