Art Project

The goals of the Crow River Youth Choir are to involve at least 35 children in the preparation and performance of a high quality children’s choir concert to the general public, educate participants on choral singing techniques and help them improve their music literacy skills, encourage appreciation for the way in which enjoyment of music and participation in music increases our quality of life, encourage audience attendance of all ages at our concert, and encourage community donations to the youth choir. The changes we expect to see from this project are first, that youth in the community will perceive singing in a choir as fun, challenging yet rewarding, and a meaningful way to belong to a group. Secondly, others in the community will recognize that youth choir performances can be of high quality, entertaining and enjoyable to attend. The community will see the youth choir as being a valuable youth activity and support its continuation in the future. We will measure the achievement of our goals by the successful delivery of our concert. An exit survey will be available to audience members after the concert and an exit survey will be given to choir participants at the end of the choir season. Responses to surveys will be discussed and documented at our semi-annual Crow River Youth Choir Advisory Committee meeting. Our goals will also be measured by the number of registrations and participation of youth in the choir, number of ticket sales at the concert, and the amount of community support through donations to the choir.
