Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We propose to reach and engage audiences totaling 250 residents and guests at our series of seven monthly programs at five residences. We want to leave residents with enhanced understanding of music and increased skills and resources to better appreciate it as audience members. At the end of the series, we give activity directors and audience members' different evaluations to measure audience growth in music appreciation, skills, and communicating about musical experiences, both from the perspectives of the residence activity director professionals and from the audience participants. We also converse with the residents after every performance to get their immediate feedback and hear their stories.

Measurable Outcome(s)

These programs build community. Activity directors tell us residents discuss these programs and share their musical experiences with each other outside of the activity. People feel empowered with skills and knowledge to enhance their ongoing listening and concert-going experiences. We reached over 200 people at 5 residences, with most people attending most or all 7 of the programs.
