If you are involved in recruiting for a university music school or department, you may want to have a look at this...
OVERVIEW
Musicwindow is a forward-thinking communications platform built specifically for the needs of university music departments.
Musicwindow provides enormous relief and powerful capabilities for time-starved music department chairs, ensemble directors, recruiting committees, and administrators.
Check out some of our materials below and if it seems like this might be a fit, we invite you to get in touch.
"I knew this would be a successful tool if we could have 57 students enroll with a music scholarship. That's what we were aiming for. In our first year using Musicwindow, we actually ended up enrolling 91 music students. Our faculty couldn't be more excited."
Dr. Peter Folliard
Dean of the Augustana University School of Music
Students are questioning if pursuing Music is the right choice in this economy. There is a finite pool of talent out there that competing music departments are all going after. It's quite challenging.
Interactive Visual Quizzes give your music department a powerful competitive advantage. Collect interest from significantly more potential students (who would otherwise be unknown to your organization), and create a smash-hit first impression that tilts the student's decision making in your favor.
For example, when we find out that Kaitlin plays Tuba, is interested in Music Ed, and likes Athletic Bands, if our communications are not speaking directly to those music-specific interests, that is a gigantic missed opportunity.
"Billboard-like" communications are static - they appear the same to different people who are interested in different things. This style of outreach makes your prospective students feel like they are "just a number in a database," making you 5-8 times less likely to convert them to an audition or band camp sign-up.
"Our university's overall enrollment is actually down and this is a focal point for the university, but thanks to the tools and strategy from Musicwindow, the Music Dept. is up about 50% in enrollment this year compared to last year!"
In 2024, getting potential students to pay attention to recruiting messages is more challenging than ever. If you are still sending one-size-fits-all plain emails that feel like a mass-memo, you are missing out on opportunities to fill your ensembles and studios.
The way to connect and build trust with prospective students has changed in recent years and candidly, most music departments are no-where near keeping up. In 2024, having authentic video stories is a non-negotiable for effective higher-ed music recruitment.
Our Video Stories solution allows you to build your content library in the easiest way imaginable.
The future of college athletic band recruiting has arrived. Traditional recruiting approaches have significant gaps with today's Gen Z student. We're in this new era where prospective band members have new standards and new expectations.
By infusing relevance into every interaction with modern and engaging tools, you will gain attention, interest, and increased sign-up from potential band recruits.
How the Purdue Bands & Orchestra is leveraging a team of 20 student ambassadors to recruit 500 freshman per season and transitioning their operation from pen & paper to an all-virtual format.
The University of Northern Iowa School of Music was under pressure to fill audition slots for both music majors and ensemble members. Their biggest struggle was getting attention and trust from high schoolers who no longer responded well to the static email format.
The UNL Cornhusker Band wanted to increase the pool of talent auditioning and they needed to attract, book, and coordinate hundreds of students for precise audition time slots. The impact made to their band program was significant.
Prior to using Musicwindow, DIME had casually looked at software for its critical event promotion needs but found nothing that offered the right functionality that they needed. Most of the other products were over-priced for the size of their organization.
