Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Students of all ages will improve their technical and musical skills, deepen their enjoyment of music and visual arts and create lifelong friendships with other young musicians. Parents and teachers will learn more about how the Suzuki method teaches young musicians the "language" of music. College students and adults will participate in master classes and play in ensembles. The community will be exposed an expert level of musical performance by the teachers and their local students. Participants are asked

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students and teachers performed in three concerts and in preparation, students were coached alone and in small groups to improve reading and intonation. Ensemble coaching ensured that students understood rhythm patterns and concepts of intonation, dynamics and expression. The coaches evaluated verbally as they coached and asked: What flute skills did you learn? Did your teacher leave you with a practice plan? How will you be a better practicer and learner?
