Listening Hour Information

This page contains information for those students who are registered for MUSC 81/181 and for those who wish to perform on Listening Hour.

Listening Hour/Concert Listening is an opportunity for a majority of the students within the School of Music to gather in the Concert Hall or Rm. 150 to listen to guest performers, faculty performers, and fellow students. Listening Hour/Concert Listening is an excellent opportunity for every musician to learn and review what makes a good performer (as you observe performances), what constitutes musical progress (as you hear your colleagues perform again and again over the years), how to listen to new or unfamiliar music, and how to be a supportive and constructive coach.

The opportunity to perform before one's own peers can be an extremely valuable experience, one that can be shared be as many students as possible.

If you are interested in performing during a Listening Hour, please email Dr. Fred Cohen, Director, School of Music and Dance.
