What was studied
A qualitative case study using nine alumni interviews conducted by a former director.
What it contributes
Alumni attributed interpersonal and personal capacities to their band experience.
Where the evidence stops
The design does not independently test transfer of skills or establish causation. Former-student selection and the interviewer’s role matter, and the setting differs from adult community bands.
