Research

The University of Windsor Lab School: Strings is a centre and laboratory for research. Supported by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the work of the Lab School focuses on how students learn and explore the implications of music study on our communities and is a collaborative endeavour that engages faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students in the pursuit of this critical work.

Our research assesses how string education may fulfill social benefits, well-being, cultural identification, social-emotional learning, and belonging within a group context. In the process of this research, we will establish innovative pedagogies and skills in string performance while building toward a continued understanding of how music can play a role in our politics, society, and culture.
