I would think that choir experience would enhance musicality in general.
This could also be a real boon for Music Education majors who may end up in
ES General Music (regardless of where they _thought_ they would end up) or
in Choral programs. The same goes for secondary instruments. What I would
be worried about would be achieving an acceptable level on the primary
instrument but that is probably monitered more by lesson and jury
requirements.
Best Wishes,
Anne
