Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to achieve an enrollment of at least 27 students for the 2018 camp and to demonstrate their musical literacy at the public recitals of their new compositions. We hope to increase audience attendance and to include an outreach to a community of color. We will evaluate our outcomes through participant and audience surveys and testimonials and we will take note of audience numbers. We will document student progress through printed programs of each public performance or professional reading. We will do a SWOT analysis at our October 2018 Board meeting.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes included strong student connections with the music world, students receiving recognition for their work, and collaboration with 20 professionals. Students experience improvement in creativity, notation, music theory, and performance. Audience sizes were consistent with other years. We forgot to survey our final salon audience due to an unexpected staff change which left us short-handed.
