Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
110 singers signed up for the Summer Chorus, with 8 graduate students participating. 95% of the participants indicated their ability to express themselves creatively was enhanced. Singer participants will be counted along with the number of graduate students taking part in this project. A participant survey will be sent out after the performance for feedback.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Enrollment in the summer chorus program exceeded expectations, with 162 registered as opposed to 110 anticipated. Participants learned voice building, note and language learning, and performance experience; graduate students got experience directing and teaching; and audiences had exposure to choral repertoire.
