NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and his music history professor.MALE STUDENT:Ummm,Professor Jenkins...the listening journal you assigned us to keep for the Intro to World Music class...well,I'm not sure I understand what to do.I listened to the pieces you assigned this week more than once,but when I tried to write about them,I didn't know what to say.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well,it's not easy to write about music,even for people who are supposedly expert at it!MALE STUDENT:That makes me feel a little better.But,I'm just not familiar with how you keep a listening journal...I've kept journals for other classes...summarizing and writing how I felt about readings...FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well,a listening journal isn't all that different.I want you to note your feelings about musical compositions,too...MALE STUDENT:OK...There were pieces I liked more than others,but I think you want our comments to be a little more,I don't know,analytical...right?FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well...whether you like a piece or not is important.But you should be able to explain why you like a particular piece...and be able to talk about its historical and musical context.Actually,the listening journal is a tool to help you listen to music actively...to think about what you're hearing...MALE STUDENT:Maybe I'm finding it difficult because I'm not real familiar with most of the music you assigned...I mean if it was hip hop or something I listen to with my friends—FEMALE PROFESSOR:Sure,because hip hop is a form that's familiar and meaningful to you.But you'll see,as the semester progresses and you start learning more about musical forms,you'll become a more adept listener and you'll start noticing patterns.MALE STUDENT:OK,so the songs we listened to this week the the canto...FEMALE PROFESSOR:The cante jondo,you remember we said it means deep song in Andalusian Spanish,not only because it's sung in a deep register,but also because it's a song about deeper or serious matters...certainly not lighthearted.MALE STUDENT:Really?Hmmm...I guess I didn't catch the double meaning...that's kinda cool.But anyway,even with the translations you gave us for the lyrics and everything...I don't know...I could tell it was sad,but I guess I wasn't trying to analyze it—from a musical perspective,that is.FEMALE PROFESSOR:OK,so this is what you should do.Go back and listen to the song selection,and this time pay attention to the melody,to repetition,to the—MALE STUDENT:There was plenty of that...some parts sounded like the same note played over and over again!FEMALE PROFESSOR:That's exactly the kind of observation you would record in a listening journal.So...melody,repetition,rhythm,how the piece is structured,as well as your reasons for liking or disliking it...

you know what?I thought everyone was clear about this but...you're just given me a great idea.I'm going to draw up a list of questions everyone should keep in mind when they're writing their journals...other students may be having the same problem you're having.
