After having written a formal letter of consent to the performing arts school (X), I have gained full consent from the owner of the business(Y) to proceed with my case study.
I also spoke with (Y) on the phone to explain that I am interested in using the research to help her improve the business in some way. She explained to me that she feels she is hitting a brick wall at the moment in sustaining the interest of her students, in particular the older students. She feels the promotion of the business could be improved but wants to know how else she can develop the classes or the format in order to get clients to remain loyal.
This has in fact given me my case study, or at least an area of focus. The Eureka moment!! I am going to proceed with an in-depth investigation of (X), to create an understanding of how the school has come to be a success within the community so far, and how (Y) can sustain the attendance of students in secondary education and above in the future.
Investigate how the development of an already successful performing arts school (X) can be sustained.
