Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

8/9: ?Regional residents learn new arts skills and techniques.? ?Regional residents gain awareness and appreciation for a variety of artistic disciplines and mediums.? Students will be able to follow written and spoken directions in order to successfully build a dulcimer, produce dulcimers that work and sound like and actual wooden dulcimer, play simple melodies together on a one-stringed dulcimer, play simple harmonies and accompaniments to melodies, play a variety of genres of music on the dulcimer, and perform using dulcimers for other students and for area community members. I will know students have achieved the outcomes by breaking them into small groups and listening to them play a variety of songs, as well as by assessing attendance and participation of school performances and the performance for "The Golden Grands.".
