Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of the young singers will indicate they learned something new. 90% of the young singers will be engaged as observed by the directors during the workshop. 75% of the young singers will demonstrate growth in their singing as observed by the ACYC directors in rehearsals following the workshops. Our methods for evaluating include post-workshop singer participant feedback, an artistic staff postworkshop evaluation and short follow-up survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most significant outcomes were that 99% of the weekly roster of singers participated in the scheduled special guest workshop/masterclass. 100% of the 13 surveys completed responded YES to the questions: 1) ?Was this beneficial? And 2) Did you learn something new??
