CONCERT REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
Attend a Jazz Performance on campus as recommended by the instructor. Note on good manners: Don't distract others while the music is playing. Be an active listener and stay focused on the music and 'in the moment'.
Silence and put away your cell phone.
Remember, many others around you are not from class; relax and enjoy yourself!

Print your name, date, and other items at the top of the report form clearly and legibly.

Typical answers to use:
- Tempo: slow, mod, fast
