Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of the Flute Performance, audience members will experience an increase in knowledge and awareness of Native Flutes and music. They should gain an increased awareness and understanding of the cultural purpose, meaning, relevance, and impact of the Native American Flute and it's music. ; Again, the beauty here is that nothing will change. We are still focusing on the same audience and same activities. The evaluation methods will include a voluntary post survey following the performance. This virtual survey will be used to determine the impact of the performance on how well our stated goals were accomplished. We predict that the performance will positively influence the audiences' knowledge and awareness of the purpose and role of the Native Flute in American Indian communities:.
