MANY STUDENTS FOR SEMESTER 1 DID NOT TURN IN A LIVE PERFORMANCE AND IT LOWERED THEIR GRADE A LOT!!
Please don't let it happen again!! Here is the info!
LIVE Performance Critique and Concert
Critique
All choir students will have papers due through out
the year. The two main assignments worth
75 points each semester are the LIVE Performance Papers.
LIVE PERFORMANCE CRITIQUE
DUE DATE
2nd semester
due: FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2015
You will need to see one LIVE musical performance per
semester and write a paper on it.
The paper will consist of your constructive comments on what you thought
of the performance. The performance
needs to be attended on your own time.
Every month I will list the musical performances going on in the
district with time, cost, place, etc...
It is your job to write the
information down and make it to one of these concerts. If you want to see a performance on your own,
you may do this as well. Be sure to
check with me before you go to be sure it is a LIVE musical performance.
Some shows that are not
LIVE musical performance would be:
1.
A play (no music)
2.
A show on ice. (the music is taped not LIVE)
3.
A live television show (you are not seeing it LIVE)
Lastly, when your report is
finished, you will need to attach your ticket stub, program, and have a parent signature saying that you
did indeed attend this concert.
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO TURN IN THE REPORT WITHIN 1 MONTH
OF SEEING THE PERFORMANCE
OR IT WILL NOT COUNT!!!
1. One FULL page typed – PLEASE USE SPELL AND GRAMMAR
CHECK!!
2. Normal margins,
normal heading, double spaced
3. Size 12 font (UNDERLINE
SONG TITLES)
4. Opening paragraph, body, closing paragraph
(REALLY IMPORTANT!!!)
5. Use of musical
terminology (at least 3 terms) such
as: use
of dynamics, tone, intonation, blending within sections and overall group,
annunciation, diction, open vowels, lifting of soft palette, diaphragmatic
breathing, etc...
