General explanation attachment Part III Line 4a - Statement of Program Accomplishments:The Tucson Girls Chorus offers programming for choirs at our River Road location, and outreach programming throughout the greater Tucson area. Outreach programming includes operating choirs in underserved communities, and various modes of classroom support by TGC staff for music teachers and their programs at all schools. A goal of the TGC is to create access to inclusive programming for youth, and provide resources to music educators and support to their classroom. Funding allows the TGC to serve a diverse community and continue to grow programs that nurture the community, further TGCs mission, and cultivate personal growth and self-esteem for the participants. The outreach program has transformed and expanded to not only serve select Title 1 schools through engagement choir programs, but to also, based on direct input from Tucson music educators, support those teachers inside their classrooms. This support manifested itself through year-round school visits, rehearsal clinics, musical activities at assemblies, classroom workshops, professional development workshops, and festivals provided and executed by the TGC, all free of charge to music educators and schools. The TGC has provided a wide range of services to 2,260 students and 62 teachers in the 2017-2018 school year, including approximately 1,600 students from Title 1 schools. These numbers represent a 227% increase in student engagement compared to 2016-2017. The expansion of the outreach program has allowed us reach and serve a substantially higher quantity of students and music educators than our actual membership in both our River Rd location and our 3 satellite choirs. Student engagement throughout Tucson reinforces the value and power of music in our community, and bolsters the efforts that music teachers make in increasing appreciation for music and its positive impact on childrens lives.
