Students performed chamber music alongside professional musicians for their peers and the community. To evaluate the project we used comprehensive documentation of project activities and completion dates, student self-evaluations, observations by our Partner Teachers and Teaching Artists, and independent evaluation observations by local freelance Teaching Artists. Results from all of these methods combined were used to evaluate achievement of the proposed outcome.
