Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans participate in the arts because arts experiences are relevant and accessible to them. Surveys, Video/Audio Recordings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes. Students valued the experience, found it to be positive learning Tanzanian music & culture from a native Tanzanian - didn't connect that they have done different cultural music in elementary, because it's been taught by white music teachers.

Proposed Outcomes Achieved

Achieved proposed outcomes.
