4. Multi-generational listening assignment: Since we’re all bonding with parents and guardians in whole new ways, let’s have a music chat.
PART 1--Ask your parent/guardian/grandparent -- anyone from a different generation -- what music influenced them. If they are musicians themselves, it could be a “hero” on their instrument, or it could be a concert they went to. See if you can find it on YouTube, and here’s the thing … you MUST listen to the WHOLE SONG . . . together. Notice their reactions, facial expressions, etc. What do you think they are thinking?
PART 2 -- YOUR TURN!!! Now, they need to listen to a piece that influences YOU! Be honest, now. Again, how did they respond? Do you think when you are their age, you would choose it in this challenge?
Bonus points if you add a picture! (either of the two of you together, or a picture of them when they were your age).

- Identify a loved one who may be feeling a heightened sense of isolation or anxiety as a result of this pandemic. It’s likely a grandparent or member of the family who might fall into the more vulnerable demographic for some reason. These people are likely missing the personal connections with you or others that they might normally enjoy.
- Choose a way to connect with them musically in a way that’s meaningful. Your options would include:
- Performing for them live via FaceTime or an equivalent interface.
- Recording a new performance of yourself and sharing it with them via email, text, etc.
- Finding an existing performance of yourself and sharing it with them via email, text, etc.
- Sharing a recording(s) - song or video - that is meaningful to you, and having a conversation with them about why it is meaningful.
- Sharing a recording(s) - song or video - you think might be especially meaningful to THEM, and having a conversation about why you feel that way.
- Any of these options should include an interactive component. This can be a conversation, or even a recorded message (written, audio, video) that accompanies your music.
- Report how you chose to complete the assignment below (only I will see this) and submit to me over email [email protected] Please include the information below in your email:
