[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top level singing isn't easier than cello but general singing is. [b]Choir/musical theater is good for ASD/Anxiety/ADHD because it is inclusive and it builds social and life skills.[/b] Make sure she doesn't give up due to not landing principal roles.[/quote] Isn't this true for almost any teen group activity? Orchestra, choir, theater, sports, anything [/quote] There’s some solid research that shows specific positive effects for theater/ drama because it explicitly teaches attending to physical signs of emotions and then recreating them as appropriate in a role. I would also say that improv can be great for nervous public speakers. I would generally let the child decide. But does she know any of the choir kids? It seems like choir can either be great or full of diva-style sniping. I think the difference is the tone set by the teachers. Band/ theater kids seem to be more likely to be an accepting and friendly group.[/quote]
