This study aims to document and understand the benefits of underserved youths' successful involvement in an after-school music program (ASMP).
The contents of semi-structured, individual interviews with 11 alumni and five staff members of an ASMP were coded and analyzed using inductive Thematic Analysis.
Alumni identified several positive program characteristics as most influential (e.g., consistency, opportunity, exposure), and described the program's favorable impact at a personal (e.g., identity development), relational (e.g., improving social skills), and musical level (e.g., acquiring performance skills). Staff members identified similar program characteristics as crucial for the success of the program and singled out their personal, relational, and social motivations as important dimensions that bring about the program's impact.
The study highlights the value of musical experiences and after-school resources for a group of underserved youth who would otherwise not be exposed to them due to socioeconomic barriers and inequities in opportunities.
本研究旨在记录和了解弱势群体青少年成功参与课外音乐项目（ASMP）的益处。
对课外音乐项目的 11 名校友和 5 名工作人员的半结构化个人访谈内容进行了编码和分析，采用归纳主题分析。
校友们确定了一些积极的项目特征作为最具影响力的因素（例如，一致性、机会、暴露），并描述了该项目在个人（例如，身份发展）、关系（例如，提高社交技能）和音乐方面的有利影响水平（例如，获得表演技巧）。工作人员确定了类似的项目特征对项目的成功至关重要，并指出他们的个人、关系和社会动机是带来项目影响的重要方面。
本研究强调了音乐体验和课外资源对一群弱势群体青少年的价值，由于社会经济障碍和机会不平等，否则他们无法接触到这些资源。
