Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goals of this project are: 1. to teach students a better understanding of the instrument specific techniques of production, performance and jazz style, while instilling a deeper love of music and a better understanding of the jazz language, 2. to provide our community with an opportunity to support our local Arts performances, now and into the future, and 3. to provide a High Quality Arts Event for our Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton community. A concert exit survey requesting feedback regarding this project will be distributed with each program. During the concert program, we will ask the audience to fill it out. Questions will include: 1. was a this program a good use of Minnesota’s grant monies, 2. was this a high quality Arts event, 3. rate the educational value of this program, 4. did you enjoy the program and 5. how likely is that you would attend another Arts event as a result of attending this program? Space will be provided for written comments. A box of pencils will be available. Student and community feedback not recorded in the exit survey will provide more information regarding meeting our project’s goals.
