This was an assignment I devised as an alternative to a concert report during the first stage of the Covid-19 pandemic in Spring 2020, in which in place of a live concert, students would view and report on one of Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts (I was kind of hoping someone would have the chutzpah to say that Bernstein was a better teacher than I, but alas, no one did). It is a medium-length writing assignment intended to be completed mid- or late-semester (after students have completed training in the musical elements) and to be worth approximately 10% of the final grade.
