The scope and outreach of this project would simply not have been possible without the generosity and belief in my work with young musicians in my community without this wonderful opportunity from the San Bernardino City Fine Arts Commission Granting Association. 8.) The second in a project series for 2016-'17 has helped highlight the existence and availability of a now long-established (nine year) program of high quality, serious string orchestral musical education and activity, available to those interested in furthering their musical knowledge and ability.

What aspects went well/not so well? The aims of the project and design were achieved. (Please see First Review Report, February 2017, included.) The first workshop provided valuable learning tools for higher goals and achievements for the second workshop to be held in the Spring 2017. I was able to integrate additional work with mentors and professional coaches for the workshop participants. Additional' pieces of music were added and able to be perfor=med within the eight-hour long workshop day. I was able to implement additional activities of collaborative inclusion. I was able to include a broader age -range of workshop participants because programs in the public schools were established by this time of year, (Spring 2017), whereas the programs for elementary and middle school had not been fully implemented in the Fall 2016 at the time of the first workshop. 11.) Were there barriers to fulfilling your goal/aims? I feel as though I provided a valuable collaborative as well as an extensive training session and heightened level of performance for all those who participated. I guess my only lamentable disappointment would be that the music teachers in the public schools don't necessarily see this as a valuable training for their own school orchestras and promote it more extensively. I will suggest a "point" system for students who attend the Fall 2017 workshop in hopes of a stronger workshop attendance commitment and the ability to enhance and elevate the individual orchestral programs at all levels in the public schools. Thank you, members of the San Bernardino City Fine Arts Commission, for allowing me this opportunity to serve and enhance the level of the training of young string musicians in our community by a string professional. Thank you for believing in my work in music with young musicians. I appreciate your support so much in allowing me to move forward in the musical education of the youth in our community.

For a first effort, the aims of the project and design were achieved. Participants covered the desired age range, (11-16.) Varying experience levels. The chosen music was attainable, yet challenging for a performance by the end of a one day workshop. The participants were able to take home a folder full of new pieces. The individual professional coaches were given blocks of time for section work throughout the day to work on difficulties. Participants sat alongside mentors and professionals for support. Less experienced players received strong advice, instruction and support. Definitely provided confidence -building. It was fun! Each participant exited with a higher level of playing/performance ability. Participants learned new skills and techniques. Participants were welcomed warmly and encouraged by mentors. Extremely positive comments about workshop by: participants mentors professional coaches families of participants SJO Board Members Ouestions about when the next workshop would be scheduled. Coaches wanting to be asked back. Participants wanting to be invited again. The only slightly disappointing aspect was the realization that most of the elementary and middle school music programs were not set up and running by September. There were not as many "names -as -participants" as might have been expected. There were more High School participants than the lower age -range that had been anticipated. By the Spring Workshop of 2017, when all programs are well 3— under way, this should not be a problem. Perhaps if there is another opportunity next year under a similar grant, and the Fall date is pushed back by a couple of weeks, more students will be able to participate in both workshops.
