Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My training will increase the number of art opportunities in the Rochester area since there is no flute teacher trained in the Suzuki method. It will also provide art access for many kids who want to play flute since Suzuki starts younger. I'll collect data from the number of children I teach, which will show how many people have taken advantage of the new art opportunity. I'll keep track of the people who attend the recitals the children put on this year (at assisted living centers).

Measurable Outcome(s)

My training increased the number of art opportunities in the Rochester area with adding a flute teacher trained in the Suzuki method. I also provide art access for many kids who want to play flute who are younger than non-Suzuki teachers’ start with.
