There is a wealth of information on artists such as The Beatles, The Doors, Elvis Presley, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin etc. An extremely effective method of examining lyrics, discography, and history of groups chosen for presentation is present in the resources of the World Wide Web. For example, one should examine the history of the artist, one should compile lyric examples of the chosen selection, one should prepare the materials for the presentation etc. In the presentation itself, each member should try to participate. Censorship is evil, but I cannot allow the class to be assaulted with indefensible material.
History Tell the class some information about the history of the artist.
Handouts are advisable, but an overhead transparency may be used. If you need assistance, contact me as soon as possible. When presenting your selection, try to explain why you have chosen it. Try to make some concise observations about the musical elements present in the selection. You don't need to get extremely detailed, but you can mention something in terms of form, texture, melody, harmony, and tempo in regards to most any popular song.
