Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will provide four different opportunities for 180 children to experience music making, exploration of musical genres and instruments with professionals. Sound Track will culminate with an interactive Kids Concert festival, complete with a professional Bluegrass band, in which the children will share their creations with their families and together continue to explore creating sounds. We will send out a survey to the participants of our culminating event to evaluate the effectiveness of our MRAC grant program and determine whether our goals were met. We will also rely on feedback from educators and guest artist.
