Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

One outcome is our winners' recitals. Since these are free, many people are able to attend a high-quality concert who would not be able afford one. Another outcome is our YouTube channel; we videotape our recital and post it there. This provides access to those not able to attend our concert.We provide participants with evaluations at the conclusion of the scholarship event. The Winners' Recitals are videotaped and performances are posted on YouTube. Data is collected on 1) student participation, 2) music teacher involvement, 3) recital attendance, and 4) volunteers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One goal was to increase the number of competitors in the string section. The number of string students rose slightly over last year. The change to the master class format provided more instruction to the students at a time when they are more receptive.
