New Project: Music in the Real World

Yay! New things!  Instead of a Reading Reflection next week we're going to do a bit of formal research on topics that might be interesting to you, and share this information with the class, following the steps below.

STEP 1: TOPIC
You're going to pick a topic related to music in the "real world". Possibilities include, but are not limited to...
  • the history of sequencers or another music technology
  • the science of music and mood
  • the science of music and the brain
  • the science of music and physical performance
  • what are some post-secondary options for music study? (requirements for these programs, etc)
  • what are some post-secondary options for music technology study?  (requirements for these programs, etc)
  • careers in music - education, tech, engineering, producing - could also include interviews
  • anything else you're interested in and I approve :)
Send your choice of topic to Ms. Simmons by the end of class on MONDAY OCT 4.

STEP 2: RESEARCH
No matter your topic, you are going to send the following to Ms. Simmons by WEDNESDAY OCT 9.
  • links to 3 articles related to your topic
  • 1 paragraph (250 words) summary of each article and how it relates to your topic
STEP 3: PRODUCT
You are going to choose a way to share your findings with Ms. Simmons and the class. These might include...
  • formal written paper/essay
  • oral presentation
  • visual presentation
  • video
  • PPT/prezi
  • anything else you're interested in and I approve :)
No matter your topic and product, we will be sharing our products on Wednesday Oct 16-Friday Oct 18, WRITTEN WORK DUE FRIDAY OCT 18. Your final product must include a Works Cited with at least 5 legit sources.
