Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

40 participants will access a learning space for Klezmer/Balkan/Jewish music, where at present there are few resources in the Twin Cities for this style of art. Evaluation interviews and surveys will indicate that 50% of participants gained a sense of ownership of this traditional art form. Advisors who are experienced musicians in this traditional style will assess musical content. Participants will fill out pre-project and mid-project surveys.
