Due: Wednesday, February 24, 2010

The research project expectations are as follows:
NOTE: Do not read from the presentation boards! Please use cue cards to assist you.
Areas of Research
1. Style of Music: name and introduce the style of music. Give a brief history (give dates – or ‘times’ and samples of the music) and origin of the music.
2. Artists / Composers: Name some of the composers / artists who created the style of music. ‘Pioneers’ of the music! (include pictures of artists)
3. Popularity and Purpose: Describe how and why the music shaped the people and cultures of the time (example: music during WWII).
4. Media Reach: how did this music reach the listeners?
5. Personal Reflection: Outline what you have learned about the style of music and evaluate how this project has changed your music awareness.
