Abstract
This study seeks to answer the question: What are the attitudes of South Georgia public school superintendents toward curricular string instruction? A10-item questionnaire was developed and sent to 44 rural public school superintendents. Eighty-four percent of the superintendents (N = 37) responded to the questionnaire. The primary findings of this survey regarding the respondents’ school district music curriculum indicated that 89.2% of the districts did not offer curricular string instruction. The primary findings regarding the respondents’ thoughts about string instruction indicated that if money were not a factor, 78.4% of the respondents would like their school board to hire a string teacher.
