Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We will build relationships with members of groups that have been underserved by the arts.Assess registration numbers. Survey students. Survey parents. Solicit other feedback from members/parents--individual comments and reactions. Video record and then view student performance at senior resident facility. Take photos of players and audience at performance.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Introduction to Strings Level 2 met students' interest in progressing on their string instrument. Introduction to Strings Level 1 needs improvements with staff commitment. Introduction to Strings on both levels is helping Crow River Area Youth Orchestra to be more visible in the community. Few Introduction to Strings families attended the concert featuring Dr. Aldridge.
