Project Grant
ACHF Arts Access
Community children are encouraged to participate in a free group music activity. Have a minimum of six children participate in every other week rock band classes throughout the school year (15 classes total). As a result, area children have access to music education regardless of finances, are encouraged to keep music in their schedule, and meet other young musicians and support their peers. Surveys and open forum will solicit feedback from families and students. Participation counts will be taken each week to track attendance of class.
We successfully attracted area children to experience a rock and roll class. We had an average of 7.46 children per class (112 total children attended the 15 classes), which was tracked with attendance sheets at each class. The children enjoyed the types of music we selected to learn, and also mentioned (both in classes and in the survey) an interest in learning different styles, including funk, heavy metal, and jazz. Our primary goal was classic rock and 50's/60's rock, and we were happy to see the students enjoying those styles and expressing an interest in further studies of a variety of styles. We had an average of 3 adults stay through each class to listen and observe. Some parents also filled out the exit surveys and left feedback such as "Excellent job! Nothing like it in town. Don't stop!" and "It was really fun and so glad we joined - gained a lot!"
