|Professor Cliff Leaman’s Guidelines for writing a review of a Musical Event |
|When writing a review of a musical event, always remember that this is a subjective, personal opinion which may be agreed with or not by the|
|reader. Your opinion of what happened is the most important aspect of the review. As a part of the review, however, you need to keep in mind|
|that your readers may not have been at the concert. Because of this you will need to mention certain basic information as a part of the |
|review. |
|1. Who plays -- Mention the performers by name if there are less than 6-8, and mention the type of group which is playing. If they have some|
|professional name (ie. The Greenville Symphony Orchestra, The Canadian Brass, etc.) be sure to include this name as well. Most reviews also |
|include a mention of the date, time, and place of the performance. If there is a large group playing such as an orchestra, mention only |
|those performers who have important solos within the pieces and the conductor. |
|Always comment on the overall quality of the performance including specific examples of what you heard. |
|2. What was performed -- List each piece performed and discuss it from the standpoint of both the quality of the piece itself and the |
|quality of the performance. Include all of the vital information needed to identify exactly what piece was performed. |
|Usually the manner in which it is listed in the program will suffice. DO NOT, however, list the entire program as the opening of your |
|review. List each work and discuss it immediately. Be sure to list any changes to the program or encores played. |
|3. Include background information -- Some background information can help the reader to understand the program better, but do not go |
|overboard on this aspect. Any background information should be brief and should not take up more than 10 percent of the total paper. |
|4. Tell the reader whether or not you liked the concert. This is the single most important aspect of a review. Was the program worth |
|hearing? Did you like the pieces chosen, the performance, both, or neither? Please explain as specifically as possible what you did or did |
|not like about the performance. This is the most subjective area of the review and should be the bulk of what you say. You may be critical, |
|but try not to get personal. DO NOT use the word "boring." |
|5. Refer to performers by full name the first time, and thereafter by last name only. Do not personalize your relationship by referring to |
|Dr. Billy Taylor as "Billy," even if you know him quite well. It should be Dr. Billy Taylor the first time, and "Dr. Taylor" or "Taylor" |
|from that point on. |
|You may keep notes during the performance, but take in only a small note pad, or write your impressions on the program. It is not |
|appropriate to discuss what you are hearing with anyone during the concert. You may discuss your impressions with your friends afterward, |
|but write your own review. Also, do not enter or leave the auditorium at any time during a performance except in cases of emergency. In all |
|cases you should try to enter or leave during a silence between movements or at the end of a piece. Most of all, have fun and enjoy the |
|concert. |
| |

|Usually the manner in which it is listed in the program will suffice. DO NOT, however, list the entire program as the opening of |
|your review. List each work and discuss it immediately. Be sure to list any changes to the program or encores played. |
|3. Include background information -- Some background information can help the reader to understand the program better, but do not |
|go overboard on this aspect. Any background information should be brief and should not take up more than 10 percent of the total |
|paper. |
|4. Tell the reader whether or not you liked the concert. This is the single most important aspect of a review. Was the program |
|worth hearing? Did you like the pieces chosen, the performance, both, or neither? Please explain as specifically as possible what |
|you did or did not like about the performance. This is the most subjective area of the review and should be the bulk of what you |
|say. You may be critical, but try not to get personal. DO NOT use the word "boring." |
|5. Refer to performers by full name the first time, and thereafter by last name only. Do not personalize your relationship by |
|referring to Dr. Billy Taylor as "Billy," even if you know him quite well. It should be Dr. Billy Taylor the first time, and "Dr. |
|Taylor" or "Taylor" from that point on. |
|You may keep notes during the performance, but take in only a small note pad, or write your impressions on the program. It is not |
|appropriate to discuss what you are hearing with anyone during the concert. You may discuss your impressions with your friends |
|afterward, but write your own review. Also, do not enter or leave the auditorium at any time during a performance except in cases |
|of emergency. In all cases you should try to enter or leave during a silence between movements or at the end of a piece. Most of |
|all, have fun and enjoy the concert. |
