The Music Teacher Study

This study explores approaches to help more music students grow into passionate, skilled musicians. We’re working with music teachers across the country to gather best practices, test them, and turn them into tools teachers can use for free with their students.

Study Goals

  • Help beginner music students grow into passionate, skilled musicians
  • Help music teachers nurture the passion and skill of their students
  • Explore mechanisms of behavior change in the context of skill development

How music teachers can help

  • Share with us how you create passionate, skilled students
  • Participate in small experiments testing different approaches
  • Try and give feedback on the tools and materials we produce

What is Barrington Labs?

Barrington Labs is a small, private research organization dedicated to helping people reach their potential. We believe behavior change is the key to unlocking this potential, but most people struggle to change their habits and behaviors. We are exploring practical systems to make behavior change easy and effective.

Barrington Labs was founded by Jesse Patel, the Founder and CEO of Workflowy, a popular productivity tool.
