Stockton Borough School
Music Research Project

Dear _________________,

I plan to do the following project for my 3^rd marking period music research report:

Original Composition(s)

I understand that I have the following deadlines for my project:

·        Deadline for Internet music explorations            Friday, February 20

·        Deadline for music software explorations           Friday, February 27

·        Deadline for drafts of composition(s)                 Friday, March 5

·        Deadline for final copies and presentations         Friday, March 19

to Friday, April 2

This is how I will be graded:

·        Sources:           I will need at least  _____________ number of sources.

I will need at least _____________ different types of sources.  (Such as an Internet site or a library book)

·        Explorations:     I will need to complete _________ explorations using the Internet, music composition software and/or listening experiences.

·        Composition:  I will need to write at least ______________ original composition(s), including lyrics and written and/or performed melodies.
My composition(s) should also have:

1.      A cover page- this should contain my name, date, and title of my piece(s).  I may wish to add a border or a graphic to make it visually pleasing.

2.      A bibliography that lists all my sources/explorations.

·        Presentation:  Besides creating my composition(s), I should be prepared to share:

1.      One of my compositions- either written in musical notation or performed.

2.      My journey- how I came up with the idea of my piece and the changes I made along the way.

I understand the above. If I have questions, I understand that I am to talk to Mrs. Ivans
