An essential part of music education consists in actively listening to worthy and edifying live music in order to broaden and deepen the students’ musical experiences, and, at the same time, to apply to critical listening all the practical, conceptual, and aural skills developed in the Conservatory curriculum as a whole.

Course requirements are stated in the course syllabus. Students must first register for MUEP 219 at the beginning of each semester before they can receive a course syllabus from the supervising professor directly through their personal email accounts. The syllabus is also available in the Conservatory Office and is posted on the Academic Studies bulletin board opposite McAlister 139.
Students must maintain a log of their concert attendance at the MUEP 219 Website. The web address is sent only to students who are registered for the course. Students are sometimes asked to comment upon the concerts they attend for the course.
Approved events include all student recitals, afternoon open recitals, Artist Series concerts, Faculty recitals, visiting artists concerts, and College ensembles. Students are also encouraged to attend major professional concerts off-campus (for example, Lyric Opera, Chicago Symphony, chamber and solo concerts, jazz concerts and world music events).
Students cannot count concerts or recitals in which they participate for the entire concert. However, if, for example, students are part of an open recital and listen to the remainder of the program, the concert will count.
Students who complete the concert attendance requirements will receive a Pass ("P" on the official transcript); students who do not complete the requirements will receive a Fail ("F" on the official transcript) which will require the repetition of the course. Students who fail to register for the required number of semesters and fulfill the requirements listed in the syllabus for each semester will not be allowed to graduate until the requirement is satisfied.
Students are invited to inquire concerning questions they may have about the course by contacting the Conservatory Director of Academic Studies.
