Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Students will improve their musicianship, gain experience working in small-ensembles, learn more diverse repertoire, listen to musicians and performances at the highest artistic level, and perform in-concert directly with these musicians. Students will complete a Google form asking them to assess the experience. Students will participate in class discussions. Staff will observe the evening concert and growth in student musicianship after the residency to evaluate its long-term impact.
