Frequently Asked Questions

How often should music schools survey parents?

Monthly satisfaction surveys work best. Also survey after recitals and events. For new students, survey at week 2 and week 6 to catch early dissatisfaction.

What causes music students to drop out and how do surveys help?

Top dropout reasons: lack of perceived progress, boring repertoire, teacher mismatch and declining motivation. Surveys detect these signals 4–8 weeks before the student actually quits.

Should music school surveys go to parents or students?

For students under 12, survey parents. For teens, survey both. Parents provide insight on value and communication; students reveal engagement and motivation levels.
