You will also reflect on your own engagement with the reading, indicating any unclear points so your instructor can address them.
This will build one of the most crucial skills in academic musicology and media literacyLinks to an external site.: your ability to pick out the big ideas in a reading, and recognize sources of evidence and use of structure.
