2. AMPlify: Atlanta, GA
The Atlanta Music Project is doing amazing work with youth in some of the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods. They are using the power of music—vocal and strings—to teach important concepts like self-discipline, cooperation, grit, and self-esteem, while also creating promising musicians.
The founders of the Atlanta Music Project contracted with Drs. Eason and Johnson to conduct an evaluation of one ambitious component of their project: AMPlify. AMPlify is an intensive after-school music experience that provides opportunities for elementary aged children to work with professional musicians in a choral music setting.
The Atlanta Music Project wanted to know what sort of difference participation had on their young musicians.
Did they show improvement in their academic skills? Did they make gains in how they perceived themselves, both in general and as future musicians?
In order to ascertain some of these less tangible gains, the evaluators created innovative survey instruments designed specifically to detect self-perception, persistence, and identification as a musician.
After two years, results on these would say yes, AMPlify is making a difference. Our evaluation shows that students who participated in AMPlify attended school more regularly, received significantly few behavior referrals, and had slightly higher grade point averages than their non-AMPlify peers.
