This study was conducted during a period of national conflict in Israel following the outbreak of the October 7, 2023 war. Scholars have extensively examined the impact of war, which inflicts profound psychological trauma on children of different ages. The author suggested that a music education program bringing together schoolchildren from both Arab and Jewish schools could foster communication, empathy, and peer connection during times of tension and uncertainty. This study examines the impact of a unique "Chorus-Class" program implemented in Arab and Jewish elementary schools in Israel, focusing on the relationships between Hebrew- and Arabic-speaking students who shared the program. The study explores the potential of choir-singing as an intervention to foster musical collaboration and social connection amid heightened tensions after October 7, 2023, and the ongoing challenge of bridging cultural gaps. The main purpose was to evaluate the intervention and examine its impact on students’ musical skills and social interactions. In collaboration with the Lewinsky-Wingate Academic Center, 200 students from four elementary schools in Israel (100 Jewish and 100 Arab) participated primarily in choir singing, as well as in instrumental playing, dancing, and music-based drawing. The choir repertoire consisted of selected Hebrew songs in Western intonation and meter, alongside Arabic songs in Makam with Eastern rhythms. Data consisted of the researcher’s observation diaries and in-depth interviews with participants, educational staff, college students, and music supervisors who observed the program. The study assessed two main areas of student gains: (1) musical advancement, including singing accuracy and polyphonic synchronization, and (2) peer collaboration between Arab and Jewish students. Results indicate measurable improvements in musical components: Arab children improved their performance of Hebrew songs in Western intonation, while Jewish students enhanced their performance of Arabic songs in Makam with Eastern rhythms. Socially, based on students’ reflections, the "Chorus-Class" intervention, conducted during a period of conflict, enabled them to collaborate safely and openly through artistic experiences. These findings highlight the power of music education, and choral singing in particular, to bridge cultural differences and foster cooperation between communities.
