FVPC #190 Celebrating Students and Student Retention

In service-oriented or membership-based businesses, (such as music schools), there is a natural ebb and flow of students. However, some students remain engaged for significantly longer, sometimes spanning years to decades. Is there a magic formula that keeps students with us for extended periods of time? Nikki shares her recent visit to Ontario to see former students perform in Musical Theater shows and discusses the different musical journeys of three unique singers. Tying that together with helpful teacher considerations for celebrating students and improved communication for better student retention. Friends and colleagues! Nikki and the Full Voice Team wish you the happiest of seasons and best wishes for an exciting and prosperous New Year.
