Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Student and adult singers will increase their skills in and passion for the choral arts. Students and adult singers will expand their knowledge about the discipline required for successful choral singing Five high school and one adult choral group in the Five Wings area will benefit from receiving high quality choral instruction that likely would not otherwise be available. A simple two question survey which directly addresses this issue with more extensive interviews of randomly selected singers. We are also developing a process to measure the long-term festival impact.
