Semester Review Requirements

The Objective

The main reason for this assignment is for the student ot have an opportunity to experience live performance.  You may attend a live performance of your choice. The performance cannot be a sporting event. You cannot participate in any way.

You are required to attend one concert per semester and write a concert review, which is your reaction to the aforementioned performance.

 

The Paper

The Concert review must be turned in within two weeks of the performance.  A review must be accompanied by either a ticket stub or a concert program showing the date of the performance.

Concert reviews are to be typed, doubled-spaced, using no greater than 14-point font, and covering no more than 3 pages.

Your paper should include the following:

  • Summary - Who, What, Where, and When of the event
  • Critique - What did you like or dislike about the performance? Justify each statement. Be Specific!
  • Conclusion - Wrap up your thoughts. How did this performance make you a better musician?

 

The Grade

This assignment is graded with the same weight as a test.

Any extra concert reviews that you turn in each semester in addition to the one required will be used as extra credit to offset any sectional that you have missed during that particular semester. One review will be accepted for every missed sectional.

The final day to turn in concert reviews will be posted during the school year.
