ACHF Arts Education
To facilitate an experience to underserved inner-city youth that supplements school music curricula through sustained music instruction and mentorship. The primary form of evaluation is from the students themselves and the band director. These evaluations are read by the teaching artists and The Copper Street Brass Quintet’s board of directors. The quintet also video and audiotapes teaching and performance for evaluation. 2: Increase students’ confidence in their musical skills and instill in young people an abiding love of music that results in lifelong arts engagement. 1) Students are engaged and retaining knowledge; 2) students are inspired; 3) students are provided a positive adult mentor; and 4) a successful capstone performance with a full audience including students, their parents, and community members.
Arts learning opportunities are more accessible to Minneapolis students because barriers to participation have been identified and mitigated.
