The Tri-M Music Honor Society is the international
music honor society for middle/junior high and high
school students. It is designed to recognize students
for their academic and musical achievements, reward
them for their accomplishments and service activities,
and to inspire other students to excel at music and
leadership. Through more than 4,500 chartered chapters,
Tri-M has helped thousands of young people provide
years of service through music in schools throughout
the world.
Tri-M shares and supports the objectives of every
dedicated music educator—to increase student and school
involvement with music and to make a stronger and more
unified school music program. Tri-M offers a complete
system of rewards that help inspire students and
recognize excellence in individuals and chapters. With
this system, the society builds self-esteem and
provides a channel of personal fulfillment.
