ACHF Arts Access
As a result of this experience, students will deepen their understanding of world music. Our students are our future artists and arts consumers--the interest and excitement generated by this project will hopefully increase support and participation of our students and their families in arts opportunities in our community and beyond through access to high quality artists. We will evaluate student understanding through student reviews of concert and interviews published in local media. Music from this genre will be performed at concerts with program descriptions written by students. Artwork inspired by the concert will be on display in public areas of our community. Parent reactions and opinions will be recorded through surveys and personal conversations. Higher participation numbers for our spring concert will show progress toward support of arts experiences.
As a part of the project, students learned to write a review of a concert performance. Upon our return, students wrote reviews with 90% of students using vocabulary learned in the pre-concert unit. 99% of students learned something new, and 100 percent expressed a positive reaction to the concert. Attendance numbers increased for both the high school and elementary spring concerts. We also had a higher percentage of 6th grade students participating in the spring concert.
