Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This project will challenge student's artistic knowledge, skill, and awareness through private lessons, chamber music coaching sessions, public performances, and educational master classes. Each student will come away from this experience with a greater understanding of her/his musical craft, and a greater awareness of what other students are doing in the field of music. Additionally, audiences will grow their knowledge and awareness of specific musical techniques and repertoire. To evaluate the listed outcomes for this project, talk-back sessions will be held for students involved in the festival, audience members at the public master classes and recitals, and BSU faculty and students to see how their experiences at the festival challenged their knowledge, skill, and awareness of music. Additionally, students will receive immediate feedback pertaining to their musical abilities in master classes and performances.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students received immediate feedback in master class and performance settings by music professors and audience members. Additionally, students were emailed a survey to complete after the conclusion of the festival (I have attached a copy of this survey in "Evaluation Tools"). Audience members were involved in talk-back sessions with Bravo North faculty and with the Director following all public events.
