Proposal

The topic that I'm studying is music. Music can be expressed through ideas and emotion. There are over five hundred different genres of music. Some are Pop, Rock, Screamo, Ska., Reggae, Christian Rock, Rap, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, ect. Different genres of music put people in various moods. Studies show that music helps you feel calm, or even forget about problems.

I plan to present my research on a display board or a power point. The reason why I chose music is because I listen to it almost everywhere. I love the feelings of relief, accomplishment, escape, and excitement it brings me. Music is used and created in numerous ways around the world. I'm excited to examine the different uses of music. Some ways to get information about music is research off of the Internet. Interviewing my teacher Mr. Yamnitz. Also, discovering various styles of music that are important to different cultures.
