ACHF Arts Education
Student skills will improve to the level of Superior based on the Minnesota State High School League's performance rubric; improvement is measured by pre- and post-workshop assessments. 95% of student participants and audience members develop a deeper appreciation for live jazz as quantified from survey evaluations and post-project focus groups. Pre- and Post-project recordings of student ensembles will be scored by a third party adjudicator to assess student performance skills. Additionally, focus groups, audience surveys, and artist reflections will be used to better understand the impact this project has on the jazz community while shaping future initiatives.
In coding the qualitative data, we found 3 common themes amongst the student participants: an increased interest in jazz, increased skills through adult modeling, and an uplifting experience during dark times. Roughly 95% of students shared expressed a desire to learn more about Grace Kelly and the After Hours Big Band. 86% of community members showed an increased interest in live jazz.
