Winter 2012 Paper Topics
Students in their first or second term of Encore (ENC 1010 or ENC 1020) must select ONE of the following questions:

Define your personal criteria for judging whether a piece of music is valid or quality composition. Apply this criteria to the performances that met this criteria. Identify two professional classical performances and compare to two compositions from your chosen genre (metal, country, world, pop, folk, rap, jazz, blues, alternative).

How do the classical and cultural performing arts provide a resource for the development of these crucial skills?
