Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Arts learners will demonstrate the ability to improvise a melody as evidenced by independently playing a pitched percussion instrument once during music lesson. Friends are Fine Musicians: Each learner has a chance to improvise on a pentatonic glockenspiel while other friends sing along with the teaching artist. Learners have a chance to be the soloist.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Arts learners will demonstrate the ability to improvise a melody as evidenced by independently playing pitched percussion once during music. Data was taken each week rating if the student played one (not at all during the improvisation opportunity) to five (student played 100% of the allotted turn during improvisation opportunity). 2: Student will play when teaching artist plays guitar and stop when teaching artist stops. Student were given ten opportunities to start/stop during a given song. They were rated one (start/stop followed 0% of the time) to five (100% accurate).
