Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continue the organization's mission to offer affordable music learning opportunities by eliminating barriers to access. Mission success will be measured by tracking retention rates and student demographics to ensure they reflect the economic and ethnic diversity of our neighborhood. We will monitor these indicators three times per year through surveys and enrollment data.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to continue to provide affordable, accessible and inclusive music education for the community both online and in-person.
