Students in Music Listening Club will travel to the Music Listening Contest on Friday, January 21. The Music Listening Contest will take place at Wayzata High School, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
The purpose of the Music Listening Contest (MLC) is to assist teachers in their efforts to expand the musical experiences of students — particularly through the use of Western art music, commonly referred to as classical music. The contest materials cover classical music, global perspectives, and a variety of musical influences. The objective of the contest is to inspire students to become lifelong participants in the musical experience. |
In this nationwide contest, students develop skills in active listening and critical analysis by learning to identify composers, cultures, periods and styles. The contest is open to high school students, 9-12th grade, from public, private, home schools, or music studios. |
