Writing Homework Help

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there aren’t any live performances or events happening. Therefore, you will not be required to attend a LIVE concert, but instead, watch a recording of a LIVE concert on YouTube and analyze it according to the the download.

Instructions:

• Choose one of the following videos per concert report (or choose another similar of the jazz legends we studied this semester)
• Do a little research online to read and study about the show you’re going to watch before you watch it, so you know what you should be expecting and what to pay special attention to
• Block off 1.5-2 hours without a phone or any distractions
• Set yourself up in a concert setting (A concert setting is like a movie theater – lights go down, no phones or technology, and you’re glued to the screen for the next hour and a half.)
• Have a notepad ready and available to take notes so don’t turn the lights down too low
• Observe jazz elements like melody, harmony, rhythm, meter, form, improv, instrumentation, presentation, and performance.
• Choose specific songs or sections to really dive into. You can use Google to dive deeper into the music, but make sure you cite your sources
• Speaking of citations, don’t forget that you need (at least) TWO academic sources in Chicago-style citations for this project. The citations are 30% of the final grade.
• Turn in your 4 page typed concert report online when they are due
