Music is an integral part of all of our lives. It helps us to express ourselves and connect with another. It brings the community together, build skills, and help us belong.
But how are leadership and music connected?
Last week, eight of our SMzians from the SM Band, as part of the regional finals at an event organized by Enabling Leadership, were presented with an opportunity to perform and inspire these young leaders, embodying the message that "Anyone Can Sing!" Enabling Leadership is a global organization dedicated to empowering children from under-resourced and low-income communities.
One of their standout programs, EL Create, focuses on cultivating leadership skills through the transformative power of music. This initiative encourages children to share stories of their dreams and communities by writing original songs and performing in public, building confidence, teamwork, and resilience along the way.
Our children from the SM Band owned their performance processes, journeyed to the event, performed, and came back brimming with inspiration, love, courage, resilience, and gratitude; all qualities of leadership.

Reflecting on their experience, the band shared:
"We loved the audience's energy and felt deeply connected with them. Performing as one united group made the experience incredibly fun and engaging."
Opportunities as such play a critical role in our children's lives, empowering them to become confident learners and changemakers who can inspire others and lead meaningful, purposeful change within their communities. Each opportunity helps build this.
We are immensely proud of our SMzians for representing our community and contributing to this meaningful initiative, and also extending our gratitude for this outreach invitation. Their performance not only inspired the children but also reinforced the power of music as a tool for growth, connection, and leadership.
