Week 3
This week you should write the proposal for your term paper. This is to be on paper and turned in at the next class period.
Please read the handout on “Guide to the Term Paper.” I’m looking for two things: 1. The type of music you will study. This can be any type of music that interests you. 2. The specific aspects you will study about this music. This can be history, style, behavioral aspects, etc. You can be creative and “think out of the box.” Don’t just try to do something that you think I would like. Your term paper is for you. It should be fun. Your proposal will help me to work individually with you on what you would like to learn.
