Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The mentorship program will free the current conductor to focus on musical subtleties and artistic development. The mentored student will gain experience in working with young musicians. The orchestra members will experience the insights and techniques of another trained musician.The Cannon Valley Youth Orchestra board has the primary responsibility of assessing the successful completion of these outcomes: a qualitative improvement in weekly rehearsals resulting in greater quality of tone and musicianship in seasonal concerts.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The conductor received help from and collaborated with a student assistant and will be able to provide references for this student when needed.
