dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study has been to examine three different school districts and the status of their string programs. The districts studied were Kansas City, Kansas (USD 500), Lawrence (USD 497), and Shawnee Mission (USD 512). It was hoped that information gleaned in comparing the different string programs would be helpful in developing new string programs.All three districts reported that the string programs were growing. Evidence seemed to be to the contrary when comparing the number and size of orchestras in the past. A survey was instrumented to obtain information on various aspects of a string program. Subject matter included instructor turn-over, attitudes of administrators, instructors and the community toward the string program, string specialist availability, number of students participating in the string program, instrument rental availability, drop-out rate for string players, background of the instructors and teacher preparedness. Conclusions have been drawn and recommendations made as warranted. | en_US |
