As a result of attending the BSO concert for children, the students will experience a moderate increase in their awareness of orchestra instruments through seeing and hearing instruments they may be learning about in their school music class and through seeing and hearing instruments that may be new to them. Our evaluation method involves giving each attending school teacher/chaperone surveys when they arrive at the concert. Teachers will distribute the surveys to their students immediately after the concert concludes. Students will then complete the survey to measure their increased awareness of orchestra instruments and to get their feedback about the concert. Teachers will collect the surveys and submit them as they leave the auditorium.
