Term 2 - Concert Attendance - Due Friday January 5th.

Purpose of the assignment:  This task allows you to experience a LIVE music performance, which helps you appreciate the quality of a well-done show.  You will improve your critiquing skills as you listen for specific strengths and weaknesses from the performers.  Learning to critique a group from the audience’s perspective will then help you recognize strengths and weaknesses in your own choir during daily rehearsals.

Requirements for the Concert:
  • You must attend a LIVE concert.  This means you must be sitting in the same room as the performers.  You may NOT watch a recording.
  • Concert must be at least 30 minutes of music
  • The concert must be attended during 2nd Term
  • Types of concerts that ARE acceptable:
    • choir concert (Jr. High, High School, College, or Professional)
    • musical theater show
    • vocal recital
  • Types of concerts that ARE NOT acceptable: 
    • plays (all talking, no singing)
    • dance recitals
    • rock concerts
    • piano recitals
    • any video (YouTube or other recordings)
    • any show with less than 30 minutes of music

Please complete all 3 steps to get credit for this assignment:

1) CONCERT ATTENDANCE WORKSHEET
  • Print the worksheet out before the concert, and bring it with you so you can write your reactions as you hear them.
  • Answers must be written using complete sentences.  Be detailed and descriptive with your writing.  You will not get full credit for lazy, one word answers.
2) RETURN CONCERT ATTENDANCE WORKSHEET WITH PROGRAM/TICKET ATTACHED
  • Concert program/ticket must be attached to the worksheet as proof that you attended.  
  • If the concert did not provide a program or ticket, your parent must write a note explaining that you did attend, and the note must be attached to your worksheet.
