Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

100 string students, ages 12-18, who attend the Artaria Chamber Music School will learn to appreciate, interpret and present classical chamber music. Students will demonstrate what they learned by performing works from classical music repertoire with improved awareness of tone quality, technical accuracy, ensemble and balance, and interpretation. 2: Young string players will develop their musical ensemble skills through in-depth coaching, practice, rehearsals, and performances. Artaria will assess individual and ensemble progress by critiquing the live and recorded performances. Students will also be evaluated for progress during coaching sessions and guest artist classes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Artaria Chamber Music school enrolled 69 students’ ages 12-20 years. They studied and performed classical chamber music repertoire. Applications were tallied to compile total number of applicants. Attendance was taken each week by the teachers at the coaching sessions. 2: Young Minnesotans developed musicianship and ensemble playing skills through study and performance. Artaria selected and taught chamber music repertoire. All performances and masterclasses were recorded and the results were disseminated for review and analysis. Topics evaluated: tone quality, technical accuracy, ensemble/balance, and interpretation.
