You must go to at least 1 concert (and must stay for the WHOLE concert) and write a minimum of 1 complete page
but up to 3 pages (typed, single-spaced, 12-point font, minimum of 450 words) report about your experience and
observations, including some elements of music discussed in class (ex. instruments/voices, elements of music,
historical era of music, style, etc.).
Yes, you can do research but primarily I am not interested in what Google has to say about the music heard at the concert, I am interested in your observations and opinions. If you choose to use any outside resources for research or choose to watch a virtual concert, please make sure to cite your sources (I dont care what bibliographic style
you use but please at least make sure to include the links to the sources used). Your paper will be submitted with
a plagiarism detector, plus I can always just tell if you are copying and pasting. The use of AI should be kept to a
bare MINIMUM (less than approximately 15% of your paper). If you do use any AI, please cite at the end of your
paper in this format: I used [insert AI system(s) and link] to [specific use of generative artificial intelligence and
describe content used in task]. The output from this tool was modified by [explain use]. Your paper will be
scanned by an AI detector, although it is also usually just as easily noticeable like copying and pasting. You may
use AI for proofreading or editing services (Grammarly, for instance), and if you do please include a notice to the
instructor if you used AI proofreading services, something like (note: Grammarly was used to edit this submission).
You may go to a concert in person, or you may choose a virtual option (see options below). Make sure to cite
your video in your paper if you choose an online concert.
