Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to achieve an enrollment of at least 27students attending the 2017 composers camp and to demonstrate our students' music literacy through their work in reading, writing and performing music. We hope to increase audience attendance at all readings, showcase and salons, and to increase audience appreciation for new music. We hope to increase stipends for our underpaid staff. We will evaluate our outcomes through participant and audience surveys and testimonials and we will take note of audience attendance numbers during each performance. We will show an increase in spending for stipends on our budget, and we will gather programs and recordings of original student work to document student literacy. We will also do a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis at the October Board meeting.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes:strong student connections with the music world and students receiving recognition, collaboration with 20 professionals, improvement in creativity, notation, music theory, and performance. Audience sizes: Final Salon 120; reading sessions 80; Showcase 40. We gathered information about the social media used and what avenues work best for recruiting. We forgot to survey our final audience.
