How to Recruit More Students

By Dr. Kirk D. Moss, PH.D.

When it comes to string playing and teaching, I believe that having more string players is a good thing! To reach that goal, think of recruiting string students as a way of life throughout the year rather than a single event held once per year. Research suggests that students make their decisions to join orchestra based on reasons over which most teachers have control.
