ACHF Arts Access
Individual musical achievement/accomplishment is met through rehearsals and performances in group orchestral performances that demonstrate progress and understanding of orchestral literature. Individual musical achievement/accomplishment validates the arts and demonstrates how the arts engage us and inspire us. Rehearsals/performances demonstrate progress. Student survey of orchestral experience focuses on several areas to help ensure we meet their instructional needs. 2: Continue the String Studio program that provides free, school-day lessons through the public school partnership with Folwell Performing Arts Magnet in Minneapolis. Participation impacts under-served population and the entire family in their child's musical endeavors. Progress tracked for entry into school program. A performance with Minnesota Youth Symphonies shows how early musical study can transcend financial status.
Students reported individual achievement and improvement after their participation in rehearsals and performances this season. 97% of students surveyed reported learning techniques, 98% improved their technical proficiency, and 97% were inspired. Many enjoyed the repertoire and called MYS `challenging but fun.` 98.5% rated their overall experience as good or excellent. String Studio provided 40 underserved elementary students free private violin/viola lessons during their school day this year.
