Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Music Association of Minnetonka's desired outcome is to increase its outreach to community instrumental and choral musicians and their audiences. Success will be measured by increases in numbers of participating musicians and audience. Surveys will be used to assess effectiveness of activities and identify possible modifications.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Ensemble membership increased by 25% above our goal. Attendance at formal concerts increased by 36% above our goal. Audience at each formal concert was counted and recorded. Members and audiences also completed surveys that included both qualitative and quantitative information.
