Another assignment, that is due the last day of the course, is a Concert Report. Attend any LIVE musical event (must be approved by me before going), write a 2-3 page paper, double spaced, 12 pt font, over the concert (who, what, where, when, and if you liked it or not), include 10 examples of music terminology from the semester, proof of attendance (copy of program, selfie at event, etc) and turn it under the concert report tab or by emailing it to me directly by 11:59pm.
