Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal is to have 55-80 student musicians audition for Rochester Music Guild scholarship competition and for them to have a positive experience with performing and gaining feedback from professionals. Also to provide outstanding performances at the Winners Recitals. Musicians and their parents will be surveyed to evaluate their experience. Comment cards will be included in the recital program to gather feedback. Recital attendance, comments and DVD recording of the performances will help determine outcomes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 82 student musicians register for the Competition. They gained valuable written critiques of their performances from professional musicians. Winners presented an outstanding evening of music for audience members at the Winners' Recital.
