Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will present our monthly 7-part music learning series to five senior residences, reaching an average of 40 residents per performance. 88% of past respondents ranked the quality of our programs a 5 on a 1-5 scale, and 98% said they would recommend our programs to other residents or residences. Audience counts will be done at each presentation. General surveys will be passed out to attendees at the final sessions, a more detailed survey will go to activity directors at each facility, and this will be supplemented by anecdotal information shared by participants with the performers in conversations before and after the presentations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 200 people attended the music learning series in five senior residences. 95% of the attendees reported that they learned to listen to music better.
