Special Research Paper

Your research paper examines the association of music or musical concepts

within the context of your major course of study. For instance, education

majors may wish to explore the practice or history of music in the classroom.

Business majors may wish to investigate financial issues related to music

licensing, music downloading, etc. Medical students may write about music in

therapy, occupational hazards of musicianship, or about the physiology or

psychology of performance. A list of sources consulted during your research

should be included on a separate page of your submission (page 4). Please

consult with your instructor should you need help choosing a topic. You’ll be

amazed at the number of topics available to you!

Your paper should be three full pages in length (approximately 280 words per

page), double-spaced, written in 12 pt font, and must conform to MLA

guidelines. Do not use extra spaces between paragraphs
