Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. At least 50 people are expected at the two full concerts, and audience members will report discovering the art of music had an important role in local history. 2. From 50 to 70 students will benefit from the artist-in-residence activities and will report learning about the creative process of a professional musician and the possibility of making a living as a musician. 3. Residents of an underserved county will have an opportunity to experience to the work of professional musicians. Method 1: Written surveys of audience members at concerts. Method 2: Written surveys of students participating in artist-in-residence activities. Method 3: Number of people in the audience at public performances.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes, target audience and impact goals were well met with this activity. 23 of the students were directly involved in master class activities with the artists. There were more than 60 people at each public concert. More than 50% of the students rated the residency activities as a "5" on a 1-5 scale. More than 90% want the trio to return. Most adults and students knew Julie was from our area, indicating this likely had an impact on the success of the project. We used survey forms.
