1) You are to write about your perceptions of the concert. What struck you as a listener? Use musical language (e.g. dynamics, rhythmic complexity, smooth [legato] or not, etc. What style of music did you hear and was it typical of that style or perhaps something new?

2) Try to attend concerts that you would not normally go to. Doing this will give you a better appreciation of new things. It doesn’t mean you will walk away loving the “new” music, but perhaps you will gain a respect for it as a valid musical style.
