Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Instruction in jazz and improvisation will be offered to youth studying string instruments in northern Minnesota. There are currently no programs that offer instruction in jazz and improvisation for strings students in northern Minnesota. This outcome will be achieved by successful implementation of the proposed jazz camp and evaluated by participant surveys. 2: Thirty Minnesota youth will participate in summer jazz camp with the Itasca Orchestra and Strings Program. Success in reaching this project outcome will be measured by application and enrollment numbers for the summer jazz camp as well as the number of scholarships utilized.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The quantity and types of arts leaning opportunities in the state, and the organizations or venues that offer them increased. 2: Arts learning opportunities were more accessible to Minnesota because barriers to participation were identified and mitigated.
