Guidelines for the Composer Report

2 sources:         1 internet        1 book

Power point presentation:       5 or 6 screens minimum

More images, less words.  No screen should be all text.

Avoid too many dates.

Listen to 1 hour of music by your composer.  Record your examples and times in a listening log to be turned in. 

Choose several works to play for the class in your report.  Up to 5 minutes of your time can be music.

Each member of your group must submit a listening log.  Each person must take part in the report
