Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This program will provide an opportunity for people in our rural community to see a musical performance that they may not have access to otherwise. It will also be education so attendees will learn about music history in addition to hearing the music performed. Participant evaluations will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I learned an appreciation for how music spans such a long period of time and still has relevance. 'I had never heard classical guitar before and really enjoyed it.' 'I learned about the various ways the guitar can be used to generate a rhythm, give me a sense of a certain environment and sounds that pertain to real life objects.'
