IT'S NO ORDINARY SOCIETY.
It's the only national honor society for student musicians.
Why Tri-M®?
In a phrase, perform, lead, and serve.
A Tri-M® Music Honor Society chapter opens up a world of opportunities for students who have already shown themselves to be academically capable and musically gifted. Through performance and community service, they’ll develop confidence, creativity, critical thinking, compassion, and a host of other leadership skills sure to serve them well in school and beyond.
