Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide access to instrumental music education to children who would otherwise lack access. This program will encourage interest and build skills among Club youth, which will enable them to participate in musical education in the future. We survey youth and our partners. We use membership software to track attendance, household income, demographics, and participation rates. Staff observe program participants to determine behavior changes and success, particularly if Club youth are motivated to continue music education beyond this program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Eleven at-risk youth age 13 and under participated in sessions with Southeastern Minnesota Youth Orchestra musicians during the school year. Three recitals were held at the conclusion of the program, with 157 youth in the audience. This exposure may create an interest in pursuing music education in the future.
