Download or read book Recruitment and Retention Strategies for the Secondary Instrumental Music Program written by Stefanie Buscher and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project explored research and pedagogical literature related to the recruitment and retention of students involved in school music ensembles at the secondary level. Additionally, literature regarding advocacy for school instrumental programs was reviewed. Although music courses serve an important purpose in a well-rounded education and should be made easily available to all students, there are cases in which policymakers or administrators do not prioritize the need for music education. To facilitate strong student participation in school music programs, the literature points to the benefits of music educators implementing a year round recruitment, retention, and advocacy plan. As part of this capstone project, a twelve-month plan for recruitment, retention, and advocacy was created, grounded in the research and pedagogical literature in music education. The plan outlines strategies such as frequent contact with new recruits and their parents, positive student-teacher relationships with current students, and providing culturally relevant performances that meet the community's expectations. All of the findings are applicable to strategically improving the quality and quantity of the band program in the Valley Park, Missouri school district.
Book Synopsis A Plan for Recruiting and Retaining Instrumental Musicians in an Urban Middle School Band Program by : Cameron M. Watkins
Download or read book A Plan for Recruiting and Retaining Instrumental Musicians in an Urban Middle School Band Program written by Cameron M. Watkins and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to formulate a plan for recruiting students into a beginning level band program and retaining instrumental students throughout the middle school grade levels. Instrumental music educators need to have a recruitment plan for enticing students into the band program as well as a plan to retain those students. Through the development of a thorough plan that details specific approaches and methods, music educators are able to recruit students into the instrumental program as well as retain students through the higher levels of said program. Plans based on experiences from existing programs and research may allow educators to identify students who are potentially interested in the instrumental programs, providing strategies to target all groups of students to increase participation. Teachers will benefit, and consequently better develop an ideal instrumental program, through the implementation and improvement of their recruitment and retention plan. The developed plan identified specific activities for each month and included such things as working with teachers and administrators in the elementary school, planned interactions between middle school director and elementary school students, community involvement and performance opportunities. With the implementation of a well-developed plan, music educators develop and maintain a successful comprehensive program for students to grow, develop, and foster musicianship.

Book Synopsis Strategies Used to Recruit and Retain Band Students in Urban Schools by : Jenna Lake
Download or read book Strategies Used to Recruit and Retain Band Students in Urban Schools written by Jenna Lake and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this multiple case study research was to examine recruitment and retention strategies used by successful urban school band directors. Participants were four urban school band directors and two urban school administrators. The directors were purposely selected based upon having successful and well-known band programs in schools that exhibited characteristics common to urban schools, including (a) a large percentage of low-SES students, (b) low, mean standardized test scores for students, (c) limited parental involvement in the band program, and (d) constrained budgets to support the band program. A survey and interviews were used to collect data on the teachers, their programs, and their administrators. Interview questions were developed based upon a review of literature and research questions regarding strategies used to recruit and retain students within urban school band programs. Using a semi-structured format, directors were interviewed to learn about their background in music, education, and current teaching situation. Two administrators were also interviewed regarding their perceptions of the recruitment and retention of students in the band programs in their school. Each band director participant described similar approaches to recruitment and retention, utilizing techniques such as demonstration concerts, informational handouts, testing of students on instruments, and holding a recruitment night for parents. They also noted the importance of administrative and parental support.

Book Synopsis SEL and Community Engagement Strategies for the Recruitment and Retention of Suburdan Middle School Band Students by : Gina Vingara
Download or read book SEL and Community Engagement Strategies for the Recruitment and Retention of Suburdan Middle School Band Students written by Gina Vingara and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has not yet found a correlation between community engagement and social-emotional learning (SEL) in a manner that benefits the recruitment and retention of suburban middle school band students. Teachers who create community engagement initiatives can boost the number of student recruits as the program becomes more widely recognized as a valuable asset of the school. This explanatory sequential mixed methods design study examined strategies regarding community engagement and SEL for recruiting and retaining middle school instrumental music education students. Perspectives on community engagement and SEL benefiting recruitment and retention of middle school band students emerged. Research revealed a connection between community engagement and social-emotional learning regarding middle school band recruitment and retention strategies. The researcher surveyed sixty-four suburban middle school band teachers regarding their perceptions of community engagement and SEL and their effects on recruitment and retention in their programs. The researcher interviewed four suburban middle school band teachers to gather their experiences and identify strategies in this area. This research can further advance middle school band teachers' approaches to recruiting and retaining students. Based on the findings of this research, researchers can conduct similar studies on recruitment and retention that embrace social-emotional learning competencies and community engagement initiatives for other types of music and elective courses.
Book Synopsis Recruiting and Retaining Non-traditional Secondary Music Students Through Modern Band by : Luke P. Besong
Download or read book Recruiting and Retaining Non-traditional Secondary Music Students Through Modern Band written by Luke P. Besong and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the numerous research studies promoting popular music education, many school districts need to implement an ensemble that teaches popular music. On average, only 24 percent of high school students participate in an ensemble throughout their high school careers, and music educators are trying to address this through modern bands. This qualitative, postpositivist, existential-phenomenological study identifies how the implication of modern bands can increase and retain music enrollment in secondary schools and analyzes the effects on other traditional instrumental and vocal ensemble enrollments. This study examined secondary music directors’ perceptions of the impact of modern bands on traditional ensembles. To ascertain how modern bands can help increase enrollment and learn the effect on traditional ensembles, music educators with modern band programs from across the United States provided their perspectives through a qualitative survey. Additionally, music teachers were encouraged to discuss their views on how modern band affects traditional ensembles. The results of this study show that popular music may help increase enrollment in music programs without adversely impacting traditional ensembles. This research study will help music educators and district administrators understand the leverage modern band must increase music ensemble enrollment and its relationship with traditional ensembles. In addition, this research study could encourage more school districts to adopt popular music education to reach students that may have otherwise eluded the music program.
Book Synopsis Recruitment and Retention by : Julianna Ellen Frost
Download or read book Recruitment and Retention written by Julianna Ellen Frost and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music educators at the secondary level are faced with many challenges when trying to recruit students for instrumental or choral programs. Recent studies have looked at recruitment challenges including socioeconomic issues, parental involvement, intellectual competency, music aptitude and extra-curricular activities. Most students' music career does not start when they enroll in beginning band or choral ensembles, as they may have been exposed to music classes as early as kindergarten. General music teachers have the task of introducing students to singing, playing a variety of instruments and creating compositions. With this early exposure to music and the methods used by the general music teacher, students can begin to create their own music preferences, which may influence their choice of ensembles at the secondary level. This thesis looks at whether the methods of the general music teacher and typical activities associated with these methods are related to the numbers of students who choose band, choir or orchestra as the secondary level.
Book Synopsis Examining Music Ensemble Recruitment and Retention Through Student Persistence Into College Performing Ensembles by : Elise Daigle
Download or read book Examining Music Ensemble Recruitment and Retention Through Student Persistence Into College Performing Ensembles written by Elise Daigle and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to understand the reasons students currently participating in collegiate instrumental ensembles chose to initially join instrumental music ensembles, what they enjoyed about the experience, and why they persisted. An ex post facto design was employed to determine the effects of recruitment and retention practices within middle school, high school, and collegiate instrumental ensembles. I surveyed students currently participating in college band ensembles who had participated in middle and high school band as part of their past school musical training. A survey was developed and distributed to four instrumental music ensembles: Buckeye Philharmonic, Symphonic Band, University Band, and Marching Band. The survey focused on the reasons for initial participation, participation in middle school, high school, and college, as well as why these participants considered dropping out of their respective ensembles. Data suggests that participation or non-participation in musical ensembles were influenced by factors such as (a) music major/non-music major participation, (b) current ensemble, (c) family support, (d) social reasons and (e) competence beliefs. Findings imply that competence beliefs are fragile in the early stages, but participants, particularly music majors, may center parts of their identity around music. Music majors valued musical and social factors more than non-music majors. In addition, there were significant differences in reasons for participation based on ensemble, particularly the Buckeye Philharmonic and Marching Band.

Book Synopsis Strategies for Creating and Building College Band Programs Within Institutions Under a 5000-student Population by : Joshua Buckrucker
Download or read book Strategies for Creating and Building College Band Programs Within Institutions Under a 5000-student Population written by Joshua Buckrucker and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education institutions regularly cultivate recruitment and retention plans to attract potential students to their programs. Small college band programs are identified as institutions under a 5,000-student enrollment and often develop recruiting strategies that employ a smaller applicant pool. This qualitative study observes small college recruitment practices and justifies successful and non-successful techniques within small college band programs. The research within this project examined insights into college admissions practices, administration roles in student recruitment and retention, and the role of the music faculty in recruiting and retaining current students. Furthermore, this study evaluates the effects of college exposure, marketing, communication, and incentives on student decision-making. This document also evaluates and defines the importance of the professional relationships between the college program director and surrounding high school programs. In addition, this research assesses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and how it changed how small college band programs recruit and retain students. Discoveries of this study include enrollment data from multiple small school band programs in central Texas. The data collected emphasizes retention rates as well. This research also weighs the effects of geographic location on student enrollment. This qualitative study has reviewed multiple marketing and social media avenues directly related to student enrollment. While this research suggests that certain recruitment practices have a higher success rate, specialized recruitment strategies based on geographical location, economic support, and equipment availability generate differing success rates per location. Thus, this research assessed the best practices for general recruitment, specialized recruitment, general retention, and specialized retention.

Book Synopsis Recruitment and Retention in Secondary Music Ensembles by : Kenneth M. Luckey
Download or read book Recruitment and Retention in Secondary Music Ensembles written by Kenneth M. Luckey and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies have been conducted by researchers focused on recruitment and retention in secondary music ensembles. The need to understand what motivates students to continue to persist with their music participation is predicated on the idea that secondary music ensembles may not be meeting the needs of today’s learners (Albert, 2006). By not meeting the needs of today’s learners, secondary music ensembles face the possibility of diminishing or disappearing entirely. This paper includes a detailed description of existing literature which addresses this very problem, starting with early childhood musical experiences to existing barriers in music education. It also includes information from practitioner articles and a synthesis of the described research.
