Final Project Assignment - due DEC 11

CONCERT REVIEW / FINAL PROJECT Fall 2017

Attend a live JAZZ performance this semester. This is a requirement. You MUST to go a really cool nightclub or concert and write a review.

Write a paper about the performers and the performance. In your papers, make a comparison to what you have learned in class. Express your reactions and feelings. Please be creative. The concert review must be three fully typed, 12 pt. font, double-spaced pages. And it must be something you see “live” during this semester!

If you would like to do an art project, such as a painting, collage, poem, photography, etc. inspired by the concert you go to, please talk to me about the project you have in mind. 

The final project is due on the last day of class: Monday, DECEMBER 11.

There will be no exceptions to this. You may hand the project in at any time before DECEMBER 11.
