Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

60 students and seven teaching artists will participate in the residency program through listening, composing, and performing components. 200 student audience members and 100 adult audience members will attend and participate in the concert performance. We will evaluate the success of our goals through ongoing discussions with teachers and students, and through written evaluation forms from teachers and artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We successfully reached our intended community, and our audiences turned out to be even more diverse than anticipated when we worked with Loveworks Academy, whose student body is 97% African American. The students we worked with at Hiawatha Academy were majority Latino. Our goals of making the project open and accessible were met by welcoming parents and community members to the school concert performances. 75 students and 7 teaching artists participated in the residency program through listening, composing, and performing components. 225 student audience members and 65 adult audience members attended and participated in concert performances. Post-project evaluation conversations with teachers indicated student growth in music literacy and performance skills.
