Composer TV Project UEQ: Why should we study music history? EQ: What was the use of music historically? EQ: How does one's environment affect artistic output?
Final Product • Teams will create a 3-5 minute TV show introducing a musical composer and how the time period in which that composer lived affected his/her musical output. Your team will also be responsible for either a PowerPoint presentation, or a Publisher publication to support your television show.
Basic steps of project • Identify your groups’ composer • Research his/her life • Identify historical events that may have influenced his/her compositions. • Find his/her Discography (list of compositions) • Listen to samples of his/her music and select three listening examples to share with the class. • Decide a TV Show format • Write a script involving everyone in your group.
Steps of project cont… • Select appropriate costuming and rehearse script • Record the TV Show with Mr. Yon • Decide how your group will use PowerPoint or Publisher to support your show. • Turn in the final product to Mr. Yon for review • Edit and make final changes • Present the final product to the class
Tips for Success!! • Stay on Task! • Finish each day’s task in a timely manner • Don’t fall behind • If a disagreement occurs in the group: • Try to resolve it in the group • Ask Mr. Yon to mediate • Forget the disagreement and continue working
Where do I find what I need? • Start with books in the library • Use internet search engines to research the composer. (Do not get information from “Wikipedia”). If you have a question about a site or are having trouble finding information, ASK!!! • Find music in Mr. Yon’s CD Library and online (search for public domain music for your composer). • Look on your student directory for samples of PowerPoint and Publisher material.
Day 1 – Get Started Select three composers and rank them from the one you definitely want to do, then two others you would do. Also give a short explanation as to why you want to report on these three composers. Choose your TV show style: Talk show Newscast Documentary Etc… Create an outline of both the TV show style and how you will use that style to present your composer to the class.
Day 2-5 - Research • Research using the internet, music journals and books to find important information about your composer and the time period he/she lived. • Make sure to record the resource information so to cite it correctly. • Take notes in Microsoft Word and save in your student directories under Music 6, 7 or 8, and then into the Composer TV folder. • I will be checking this folder regularly to evaluate the information gathered. • You will also be using a graphic organizer that will be provided.
Days 6-10 – Script & Set Design • Write the script for your show. • In the script you will include not only the words spoken during the show, but also every movement, facial expression, props used, audience reaction, any different shots or scenes. • Design and create your set.
Days 11-15 - Rehearsal • This will be the time to memorize your lines. • Practice movements. • Create or bring in props.
Days 16-20 – Taping • Each group will be filmed and the raw footage will be viewed by the class
