Keep a ``Listening Journal'' notebook that you give
me at the end of the quarter.
Listen to each piece below (either by yourself or with a group) three
times over the course of a week.
Do not mow the grass, feed the cat, or wash the dishes while listening
to the piece: listen to the piece. (Dancing is the one allowed
activity!)
After listening, write one page of text on what you noticed about the
piece.
At the end of the quarter, you should turn in about 30 pages of text.
All the pieces below are on closed reserve in the Library.
