Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to spread the love of jazz through education, promotion and performance, and to create meaningful musical experiences for our listeners and performing artists. I expect to plant musical (jazz) seeds in each student that we work with, so they will begin or continue their study of jazz. I hope to provide every student’s family members and all concert goers with better awareness of jazz and more appreciation for Jazz Arts Big Bands.I will distribute a concert exit survey that asks for feedback regarding the A Journey Through Jazz project. Using a 1-5 rating scale, I will ask people: was this a high quality performance, rate the educational value you received, was this a good use of Minnesota’s Individual Artist's Arts and Cultural Heritage Grant monies, did you enjoy the concert and how likely is that you would attend another jazz band performance? I will ask the participating school's band director to evaluate project. I will ask the master class teachers about student progress and I will observe student level of master during the master class and improve workshop.
