Describe what concert/recital you attended, including the venue/location, performers, etc. See the Live Concert Review pdf in your Modules for more details. FIRST IMPRESSION: Elaborate on your very first impression of the music as you listen. It may remind you of something from nature or something you have heard or experienced before or a place you have traveled. Does it bring up any kind of visual impression when you hear it? Use your imagination, even if you think it seems insignificant or silly. Also, describe the atmosphere of the concert itself. Was it formal or informal? How were the performers dressed? Was the audience respectful or rowdy? MUSICAL ELEMENTS: Make sure you discuss three specific elements of music in at least one of the musical selections (you may choose more than one if you like). Use specific terminology from our study of musical elements early in the semester: Rhythm—was the meter duple? Triple? Was there syncopation? Melody—was the melodic range wide? Narrow? Was the melody conjunct, disjunct, or both? Texture—what were some textures used? Monophonic? Polyphonic? Instrumentation—if there were instruments, what were they? (These are just some examples of topics you can discuss in your paper. You do NOT have to limit yourselves to these topics only.) REMAINING PIECES: Don’t forget to describe your overall impression of the other pieces on the concert/recital. CONCLUSION/OVERALL IMPRESSION: Summarize your impressions of the concert experience.

Have you ever seen this kind of concert? Or was it a new experience? Was there anything about the concert you could relate to? Was any of the music familiar? What did you like about it? How did the performers appear on the stage? Poised? Nervous? Inexperienced? Did they do anything you found distracting? Could you suggest anything to improve their performance? How did the audience react to the performance? Was the audience quiet and attentive? Did the audience show good etiquette and respond appropriately? How could the audience have been better? Did you notice anything in the audience that might have distracted the performers? Would you recommend this concert to anyone?
