Field Research Project:  This is a documented study of a topic selected by the student which explores a musician or musicians involved in live music-making in the student’s community and residing within the community.   A few examples of such musicians are:  a local Mariachi group, a local blues band, a local high school madrigal choir, a local drum and bugle corps, a local church choir, a local folksinger, a local Japanese drum group, a local Hindusthani classical music ensemble, etc.  The research project is generally described in the text book on pages 365 and 366 as “A third approach…” and “A fourth approach…”    Please read these pages carefully!

The topic you select must be approved by the instructor (see course schedule).  A research paper of approximately 1,500 words with documentation and format in MLA style is required.  This paper should be submitted to the appropriate Dropbox in the course as a Word document attachment.  RTF files are acceptable, but WordPerfect documents cannot be accommodated.

While an interview or interviews with musicians are expected as the major source of information for this report, a transcript of the interview is not required and is not sufficient for this project.  At least one other documented source of information, such as a relevant book, article, or Internet site, is required.  Attending a performance or a rehearsal by the subject musicians is highly recommended

Your paper should be written in complete sentences and should describe your subject’s musical style, history, influence, future plans, repertoire and your personal comments.  A recording or photograph or other non-verbal documentation is not required.

 

 

 *project must include some contact with a live musician or group of musicians or others involved with music in your community (see text pp. 365-366).

For example, here's a subject that is too broad: Music in Vietnamese Churches in Stockton. An acceptable topic might be: The Use of Traditional Instruments in a Vietnamese Church in Stockton. Many others are possible, but it's usually worse to pick a topic that is too broad than one that is too narrow.
