ACHF Arts Access
Our quantitative measure of our grant will be the number of registered participants for our workshops. Our Qualitative outcomes will be the verbal responses of the audience members on their experiences of the performances. Our grant will be evaluated by survey questions completed by workshop participants and artist instructors. Also audience members of the performances will be given opportunity to fill out a written evaluation survey or give a verbal response to evaluation the performances.
Yes, we achieved our artistic goals. The artistic teachers went beyond just teaching tunes. A workshop participant stated “we went deeper into the “guts” of Scottish rhythms and dance coordination with the music.” Another participant said, “I learned the soul of Scottish music.” “The teachers were excellent, taught with love and humor and acceptance of different backgrounds and learning styles,” was another quote. How could it be improved? Students would have more time for working on style, bowing, and rhythm, if students knew what tunes to learn in advance.
