Background info
This is the second Concert attendance report in my Music Appreciation class. The first one was the same requirement, just a different concert ( Reference only, do NOT use this one: YouTube Symphony Orchestra – Gala concert, Various: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnKJpYGCLsg)
A recommended book for this class: is Understanding Music: Past and Present https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/407 and I prefer this one as one source
Before joining this class, I barely can distinguish musical instruments (I can only tell the types and there are only around 5-7 types for me :D). However, I have almost finished my mini-mester (7 weeks), so I suppose to have pretty much musical knowledge now.
