Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I wish to increase my knowledge in music theory, through the years I have noticed that to be the one topic I struggle with when improving at playing my many instruments. I would also like to increase my knowledge of writing song lyrics, I took some classes that described poetry, and have since used that to create my lyrics, but would like to improve more. One skill I would like to explore is to take choir lessons, although I can play the guitar fluently I find it hard to play and sing together. Evaluation will be performed by mentor artist.
