What Is a Listening Log?

An important part of the research process for your group project is to listen to the two pieces of music several times so that you can develop an understanding for how both pieces work. 

Working towards that end, you will need to keep a listening log for both pieces and record your observations for at least 3 listening sessions for each piece of music.  For each listening session, you and your group members should set 1 or 2 listening goals. 

Please pay attention to how you understanding of the piece changes and/or develops with each listening session.
