Overview of the Program
The Santa Rosa Philharmonic Youth Symphony (SRPYS) is an organization which supports young adults who have a passion for music, inspires excellence in musicianship, and advanced strong leadership skills through their program. Many parents, students, and community members are concerned that because local elementary and middle schools have had to cut the music programs from their curriculum, the lack of support will decline and the appreciation and enjoyment from talented individuals will be discouraged. SRPYS is an organization which has developed plans to educate and advance the skills of young musicians so they may perform at their highest potential.
The mission of SRPYS is to educate and advance the skills of young musicians, allowing them to reach their highest potential. Integrating theory, knowledge, approaches, models, skills, and techniques to all aspects of the program will reassure the fulfillment of the organization’s mission (Yuen/Terao, 2003). SRPYS is an organization which has developed plans to educate and advance the skills of young musicians so they may perform at their highest potential. The appropriate evaluation for SRPYS organization is to use the project-wide evaluation model which is an evaluation plan that providing a broad image or outline. The Project-wide evaluations plan will help determine if the goals, aims, and objectives of a program or project are being met. Because SRPYS has established its mission and values and have determined the communities needs and are aware of the target audience, the “big picture” is all that can really be evaluated at this point. The use of the proper evaluative plan is essential for SRPYS community to continue to assist students in achieving their goals and being the best that they can be.
