The purpose of this three-year project is to implement elementary music programs in the public schools of the region by operating an exemplary center in music education, and by establishing procedural patterns for school systems to follow. Standardized and locally constructed tests and surveys show rapid progress of students and significant attitude change of teachers, administrators and parents. The methods of evaluating the objectives range from simple to nearly impossible. The definitive evaluation of project success will depend on the increase in authorized and funded music teacher positions. (Author)
