Hopewell Music will engage a larger portion of the Black community in Arts Education through the development of a youth choir. Quantitatively: Student contact hours will be tracked through attendance at rehearsals and student retention through subsequent registration. Demographic information is collected through registration. 2: Our choral programming will reflect the community's culture and expose students to relevant arts experiences they currently do not have access to. Qualitatively: Semester-end parent, student, and audience surveys on program relevancy and accessibility to the community. Ongoing monthly reports from HEAT members engaged with target community members.
The Summer Camp program enrolled more Black participants compared to other programs, while the school-year Youth Choir did not. Demographic information was collected through registration self-reporting, with many participants choosing not to report their demographic information. 2: Participants report learning new skills and gaining new experiences, and they rehearsed and performed a wide variety of music styles. Surveys of participants asked whether they enjoyed singing in the choir, what their favorite part of the experience was, and what skills they learned.
