I. Outline the Piece

As you listen to the piece, watch the counter and pause when you hear the repeating of a musical idea, or the beginning of a different idea. Click the “pause” button and write down the counter time. Go through the piece this way and outline the timings of each musical idea. Give a brief description of what happens in the music, such as who is playing and how loudly. The outline begins like this:
