Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Jazz Workshop proposes providing jazz instruction to over 40 to 50 aspiring musicians in a unique mentor-mentee setting. Student groups will present 4 concerts on 4 consecutive Saturdays in July and August 2019. Students will be surveyed via a paper or, if they prefer, online questionnaire about their workshop experience. Similar workshop surveys will be distributed to audience members for comments at the student final concerts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

22 students, broken into groups of 5 to 6 each, studied jazz improvisation with master faculty over 4 weeklong sessions. 83% would recommend the program to a friend.
