Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) Provide a chance for community members to experience live professional instrumental music. 2) Provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of techniques for band instruments. 3) Increase each student’s understanding and skill in music.The primary form of evaluation is from the students themselves. The Copper Street Brass Quintet utilizes a band director and student feedback survey to measure the overall reaction to the program, best portions, and to solicit ideas for improvement. This feedback is incorporated into future residency programs. The Copper Street Brass Quintet also stays on stage after each concert and makes a point to invite conversation from audience members. This audience feedback is an immediate and important reflection of their effectiveness on stage.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful arts education project. Majority of students showed an increase in artistic awareness, skill, and understanding.
