Concert Review Paper Guidelines

Jazz Appreciation Listening List Spring 2015

General Suggestions:

Each example will be played only once.
The examples on the quiz may start anywhere within the track (study thoroughly).
The student should be prepared to identify the song by ear (from any starting point) in less than 30 seconds of playing time (as is standard for all music and art courses of this nature).
Silence separates each example (the instructor does not play more than one sample from a single song).
The student should be able to identify the name of the tune, the artist (or group) most prominently associated with it (not necessarily the composer), and provide one short distinguishing feature of the tune (as discussed in class).
