Listening Journal

Paper instructions:
Write a journal entry on 5 songs/video examples of your choice.
These should be selected from the audio files and the video in the PPT, which I upload.
Each entry should be around half a page.
Things to discuss include any musical characteristics you can hear, the context of the song, lyrics of

the song, etc.
Avoid vague descriptions such as “has a good beat” or “has a melody.”
You can describe instruments (to the best of your ability) as well as musical elements such as melody,

timbre, form, and rhythm.
