The basic idea is that you will, for each journal, listen to 3 songs and then write your impressions of them. This means writing about what stands out to you (whether it be instrumental or vocal), what sounds good, what does not sound good, and your overall impression of the pieces you choose to listen to. Some students in the past have chosen to just pick 3 random pieces for each journal, some have chosen 3 pieces by the same artist and structured each journal around comparing the pieces of an individual or group, some have chosen to pick 3 pieces for each journal from the same time period and compare them that way. All of this is completely up to you; there is no official format here.
While for the most part these journals are very free form and you can do them in any way you see fit or are comfortable with, there are some general guidelines that must be followed.
1) Each journal must be 2-3 pages. 1 page is not enough to write sufficiently about the music. Now while these 2-3 pages can take any format, some of my students in the past have preferred me giving them a specific format guideline. For those students, most of them have fallen into the following format for EACH journal: Introduction, Paragraph about song 1, Paragraph about song 2, Paragraph about song 3, Conclusion. While that is not the ONLY format you can use, it pretty much guarantees that you will have the correct length and amount of information you need.
2) EACH journal must include 3 songs, but these songs CAN NOT be songs that are in your textbook or assigned to listen to for homework. The point is to have you listen to music outside of what we cover in class, not to have you repeat what we do in class. While you can listen to songs by the artists we cover in class, they cannot be the exact same songs that are on the CDs that come with your textbook. You WILL have points taken off your journals if you choose to do a song that is listed in your textbook.
3) And lastly, included with your syllabus I have also provided a list of artists you can use for your journals. This list is NOT the end all be all of who you can listen to, if you have artists that you want to study that are not on this list feel free to use them. The list is solely a suggestion for those of you who may need it.
