Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will grow the number of participants and attendees of the concert, compared to the previous fall program. Students will learn a new style of orchestral music. We will track participation and attendance numbers, comparing results to the previous fall program. Additionally, we will be distributing satisfaction surveys to participating families of the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

CMYO increased the number of students who participate in our program compared to our last season. CMYO retained over 75% of their student base. CMYO provided better understanding of how to play selections which included skills needed to enhance their playing. A new class offered music history, theory, and ear training. CMYO's survey results indicated it was well received by parents/students.
