Why Tri-M®?

In a phrase, perform, lead, and serve.

TRI-M® MUSIC HONOR SOCIETY HAS A PLACE FOR YOU

"I’d love to start a Tri-M® Music Honor Society chapter but I just don’t have the time.” This is a common challenge for music teachers on all levels. You would love to provide an opportunity for your students but just can’t find room to add a chapter to your already packed teaching and performance schedule. See how three music teachers have found creative ways to incorporate Tri-M® into their programs by using events they already host and utilizing their Tri-M® members to assist with recruitment and service projects.
