Our goal is to attract twenty participants to the five week sessions, retaining 90 percent of the group for the duration of the workshop. We hope to see a 50 percent increase in confidence in accomplishment and that 75 percent of participants say they have learned something new. We will evaluate the success of the program by tracking the number of participants who sign up for the workshop and return for each of the 5-week learning sessions, plus how actively each resident participates in each session. A final performance will be rated to determine knowledge retention. A satisfaction survey will be performed with residents before and after the 5-week learning sessions and, along with direct observation, will measure socialization, accomplishment, enjoyment, self-reflection, skills and knowledge, and expressions of confidence and self-esteem.
For each of the 6 learning sessions, we were able to recruit 20 residents; 90 percent of the participants said they learned something new. Participants said they experienced 75 percent less pain during the session, with 75 percent also reporting feeling happier after each session. Nearly 70 percent said they would like to participate in a similar cultural music immersion class in the future.
