MUSIC 101: Exploration of Music Concert Report Instructions
Listening to live performances is an essential part of learning to appreciate and understand music. As you know seeing a live concert at this time is not an option. I have listed several links below to concerts that you can watch online that will count for your report if you have not already completed it.
For this concert, you need to PRINT the CONCERT REPORT FORM, READ it, and have it with you when you watch the video. That way, you will be able to use it to make quick notes during the concert, and then you can expand upon your notes to write your essay.
After filling out the form, write a two-page report describing your experience and the music you heard. Use your Concert Report Form, Concert Program, personal notes, program notes (if there are any), and your text to help your write your report.
