Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase students’ musical skills including tone production, note recognition, rhythm reading, and listening. Instill an abiding love of music that results in lifelong arts engagement (playing, attending concerts, supporting the arts, etc.). Provide opportunities to perform publicly thereby increasing self-confidence and motivation. Create strong band leaders within existing school band programs.Surveys will be distributed to band students and band directors. Attendance and student progress will be recorded throughout the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Band students at two Minneapolis middle schools improved their playing and musical knowledge by receiving instruction additional to their ordinary band instruction, and learned about performance practices from accomplished professional musicians.
