In accordance with the requirements of the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences for GE courses, a formal writing assignment is required, which for our course will be in the form of a concert report. The concert attended may be of any genre, and may be either a live or recorded event. Students are encouraged to seek out genres with which they are less familiar. The focal-point of the event must be listeningto the music, i.e. not background entertainment at a pub or restaurant.
