Students are required to attend 1 concert each semester and type a concert review paper about their experience. Hope College has a lot of free concerts throughout the year, as well as Grand Valley. There is also the Grand Rapids Symphony, Holland Symphony , and West Michigan Symphony (Muskegon). Any type of live, music concert will work for this assignment--folk music, high school concerts and rock concerts are also acceptable. The concert review rubric can be found attached to this website in the Music Handbook. I strongly encourage students to use the rubric when writing their papers since this is what I use when I grade them. The Concert Review paper for 1st semester is due by November 26, 2019. The paper for 2nd semester is due by April 24, 2020.
