Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our programs increase access to the arts by providing opportunities for musical training in the choral arts for treble voices and to work with artists/conductors. The community benefits through concerts, outreach programs and visiting artists. 1. Programs will be evaluated by students through surveys administered in the spring. Responses to the surveys are compiled and analyzed to gauge effectiveness of programs. 2. Data will be collected for participation, attendance, and number of events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One goal of this project was to reduce barriers to participation by providing scholarships to students with demonstrated financial need. We budgeted $2,500 in scholarships, but exceeded this goal by awarding $2,793 to ten singers.
