Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Other (please describe below)

Measurable Outcome(s)

CVMA reduced economic barriers to music education our teachers and students continue to face during the pandemic and acted as a community catalyst in connecting new and potential music students with our outstanding roster of music teachers. Through conversations with teachers, reviewing lesson enrollment records, and analyzing financial records, it is apparent that while this project successfully impacted both teacher and student economic barriers to music lesson access, we must continue to adjust to a new pandemic paradigm of community.
