Quantitative: Create 60 minutes of new music for the Prairie Fire Lady Choir including 30 minutes of original songs and arrangements by choir members and 30 minutes by our collaborating artist, Aby Wolf, have at least 20 choir members participate in the songwriting workshop process, and have a performance in the spring to showcase the fruits of the project to the community. Qualitative: Increase the comfort level of at least 20 choir members to write songs and increase the sense of community among choir members.Workshop participants will be given a pre and a post survey to provide qualitative feedback about their experience of challenge, risk and growth through the songwriting project. They will also complete a short questionnaire at each of the three workshops to measure their attitudes and confidence level related to project material. Attendance will be taken at each workshop to keep track of choir participation, and the minutes of music created will be counted at the completion of the project.
