Concert Report

You are required to type your paper. All papers must be submitted in Microsoft Word. If your paper is not

in .doc or .docx format, I will not accept it.

Required: DOUBLE SPACE YOUR TEXT!

Required Length: 4-5 pages. No title page required, but remember, a title page does not count as a page of

text! If your paper is not the required length, it will have a negative impact on your grade.

II. Content

I will base your grade on content, use of music vocabulary, and thoroughness. Be sure to answer every

question in as much detail as possible. Your answers must be in complete sentences. Provide as much nformation as you possibly can- take pictures (if allowed), interview other audience members, go

backstage and talk to the musicians, etc.

PLEASE NOTE:

• You are required to submit a ticket stub, photo, or some other form of evidence of your

concert attendance. Please include this in the document itself. Failure to provide evidence

will result in a serious reduction in your paper grade.

• DO NOT send me files that are larger than 1MB.

III. Format

An effective report is more than just a list of questions and answers. Weave your information together into

a narrative describing the entire experience. Avoid the passive voice, write in the first person, and insert

your own personality.

IV. Questions:

1. What instruments were used in the concert? Under what classifications (chordophones etc) do they fall?

If you can not find the name of the instrument, describe it using the vocabulary you have gained in the

class.

2. What types (genres) of music were performed? Does the music fall under any categories discussed in the

text? Please describe the music you heard.

3. Was there any singing or dancing? How important was this to the music? Who were the performers?

Did they wear any special costumes?

4. Where there any “composers” listed or mentioned? Was the music improvised at any point? How do

you know?

5. How did the musicians interact with each other? How did they acknowledge or interact with the

audience? Did this help or hinder your enjoyment of the music?

6. What feeling or mood did each movement or section of the performance seem to have?

7. What was/were the most important elements for getting the music across to you? (melody, texture,

rhythm, tempo, etc.)

8. What was unique about the concert? What did you like/not like?
