Your listening log should consist of 2 paragraphs about your selection. Here are some ideas you will want to discuss: musical era (time period/when composed) artist or composer name tempo (speed) texture (voicing/instrumentation/ensemble) any influences you hear from previous music you learned about/listened to personal opinion of the piece. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Does it remind you of a piece of music you like to listen to? Have you heard it somewhere? A commercial? Sampled in a song? Hint-Hint! You may want to use the "what to listen for" section for each piece in the book. This is why you should do this as you go along. :)
