Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, students and community members will experience increased knowledge and awareness of professional music and the work involved to be a professional musician through a public concert and master classes with students. Students will have music skills reinforced and learn new techniques to aid in future performing opportunities. We will conduct a post-activity survey asking participants and audience members: Was this event beneficial? What did you learn from the Copper Street Brass that was new? Did you hear information that was not new, but helpful? Did you enjoy the event? Would you like them to return? What was best part of the residency? What can be improved for the next residency?

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, music students at Lake of the Woods School observed and interacted with a group of professional musicians. All aspects of being a performer were observed: performing, communicating, analyzing, and professionalism. As they worked with the students, some of the physical demands of performing were addressed, especially using relaxed airflow to make a good quality sound.
