I think that you can learn a lot from being in choir. You
can gain skills that will definitely help you in the future whether or not you enter
into a career in music. High school is about gaining as many experiences as possible.
You can specialize when you get to college, but if you experience a lot of different
things now, then you will have a better idea of what directions interest
you.

That said, what you can learn from being in a choir
(aside from how to improve as a singer) is how to work as a part of a team. Choir is not
a solo activity. You have to listen to the choir director as well as to each other. A
good choir functions as a single unit in much the same way as a successful sports team,
military unit, or corporation. Teamwork and team building skills can help you in many
areas.

You can also learn self confidence. As a singer in a
choir, you will perform in front of audiences. Becoming comfortable singing will help
you be more comfortable speaking in front of a crown, giving presentations, and going on
interviews for colleges or jobs.

Lastly, choir teaches you
dedication. You commit to a time to be at rehearsal and you are expected to be there
even if you have homework or something that you want to do instead. If you stick to that
commitment you will learn how to manage your time and how to maintain a dedication to
something - skills you will also use both in college and in
life.
