Forum: Collaboration for Our Greater Good 1

Abstract

In order for research to be relevant and applicable, it is important for us to remember our constituency. Our students and colleagues in the public schools may see research as something abstract and distant, but string education researchers are conducting studies in a variety of areas such as student teaching, vibrato, mentorship of first-year teachers and chamber music, to name only a few. Collaborating with our current students and public school colleagues may offer opportunities for greater understanding on both sides of this imaginary dividing line.
