Create a project, using whatever medium you feel is most appropriate, to demonstrate how you will use what you have learned and experienced during this class to live a musical life. Your project must include the following elements: 

• A discussion/representation of how your thinking about music and/or music meaning has evolved over the semester.
• Examples and/or explorations of real-life ways in which you do or will engage musically in the world.
• References to AT LEAST three (3) readings from class to support your ideas. You must include in-text citations where appropriate, and a works-cited/references page. 

If you choose to write a traditional essay, your essay should be approximately 5-8 pages double spaced. If you choose an art-based format, you must submit your piece along with a 3-5 page explanation of the work, including references (similar to that of the artefact project).  

Drafting, Planning, & Starting Tips:

• Look for connections between pairs or trios of the readings. Think about what connects them, and try to explain those connections in a few brief sentences. How does what you wrote apply to your life directly? Jot down a few ideas.
• Re-read some of your reflections and projects from this semester. Notice what was most prominent to you at the time, and what you were thinking of based on the readings. Write a few sentences that weave those individual ideas into a narrative of your thinking across the semester. 
• List ways you engage with music in your life now. Do you see or think about these things differently as a result of this class? Write a few sentences explaining each one, and make a note of the reading or class experience that changed or reinforced your thinking.
• List ways that you might change how you engage with music in your life. Write a few sentences explaining why you would want to make a change, and note the reading or experience that changed or reinforced your thinking.
