A research paper of music

Eight Double-Spaced Content Pages MLA Format In-Text Citations An MLA Format Works Cited Page An Annotated Bibliography Page Special Requirements: Selecting entire countries or continents are too broad but individual genres within those specific countries such as Nigerian Highlife, Japanese Enka, Portuguese Fado, Haitian Hip-Hop, Cuban Son, and Klezmer are good because they represent a specific genre of Music. Specific instruments—the history and use of the gamelan orchestra, the tres, the bandonion, the sitar, and the kora are a few of the many instruments to consider. Here, you should locate recordings or videos of your selected instrument being played alone (by itself) and recordings or videos of it being played together with other instruments or voices. A performing artist or music group—be careful not to submit only a biography as this is not a research paper, rather you must take a stand on why you believe this musician/group is important. An argumentative paper is a good approach here as it will develop why you believe—and importantly, why the reader should believe what you do about the significance of your selected performing artist or music group. The paper should reflect a balance between the sharing of factual information, quotes from writers you have read during the research process (cited in MLA), along with your own response, descriptions, and analysis of that information—which must include actual music (Records, CD’s, MP3’s, Videos, etc.) that you listened to as part of your research.
