Choose one of the following topics and write a 6-8 page (double-spaced,
12-point Times New Roman font) paper utilizing at least 3 relevant
sources. (Not Wikipedia!) Use music terminology, such as rhythm, melody,
tempo, texture, period etc.
B. Utilizing your favorite genre of music (Rock, Jazz, Hip-Hop etc.), conduct
a study of its evolution in comparison to the evolution of classical music.
Utilize music terminology to describe both genres.
• For example: Classical music is not stagnant and will
continue to progress. Write about how your favorite genre
evolved and continues to progress, and how its history is
similar to Classical music. You can compare the history of
your favorite genre to a particular period that we studied or as
a broad history from the Medieval-20th Century.
