Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Workshop will provide 40 to 50 young musicians from throughout the metro-area the opportunity to study with professional jazz musicians. A series of rehearsals will be followed by showcase student performances at the Dakota Jazz Club and Icehouse Restaurant with the shows being recorded and CDs made available to the students, their friends, families, and the general public.We will count the number of student enrollees to assess if we reached our enrollment goals. We will also affirm we were able to organize the student showcase concerts and be surveying students, artists, and concert attendees to get their feedback about our program.
