IN PAIRS
You will be tasked with a presentation that combines music, images AND information.
You will do a brief profile on a genre of music.
You will choose one band/singer from that genre and you will give an overview of that artist and his/her career. (hint - dead, old people have more info on them)
You will review one song in some depth - decide why or why not this is good? Remember all the parts - we only did four. (corresponds to instruments)
You will then compare that GOOD song with a poor song by the same band - try to explain what is wrong here.
Recommend (and quickly explain why they are similar) a few similar bands in the same genre that you think might be good.
Maybe choose an artist you don’t know yet, or that fits into a genre you don’t know.
