Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Strengthen current programming and staff compensation. This will be evaluated through increased planning and content for weekly rehearsals and the quality of performances given throughout the year.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our current programming has been enhanced and staff compensation has increased. Measured by educational output and observed student progress - Weekly rehearsals now feature a music theory component, and we have brought our Prelude program into new locations. The board approved staff salary increases. 2: Effective management of our current staff has allowed us to maximize our impact on learners. This has been observed through weekly rehearsal progress showing higher levels of musical competence and beauty in performance.
