Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Students will improve their musical ability, while at the same time creating two concerts of new work. They will be able to perform with other students and adults. The larger community will benefit by having a local orchestra concert in Hutchinson that they can attend and listen. Parents and grandparents can introduce their children to orchestral music and hopefully encourage the learning of music. More people will attend the concert and fund it in the future.Outcome evaluation includes student evaluations, parent comments, and financial considerations. We look to see if the group is larger than the group the season before. Number of audience members will be measured and compared with previous years.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The students overwhelmingly said they like Crow River Area Youth Orchestra and its director in the evaluation. The personal contacts gave a clear indication that the audience is impressed with the direction the orchestra and the director are taking.
