What could be a good topic for my senior project research paper??????

Originally I was trying to do one on the History of Music but my teacher told me it was too broad. What could be a good research paper, relating to music, that isn't too broad??





PS: Since my actual project deals with learning how to play guitar, my research paper has to be about music or something related to it.

What could be a good topic for my senior project research paper??????
instead of doing "History of Music" pick you favorite "period" of musical history and foucus on one musical composer from that time. Make sure youy put in there how that period might have affected todays music or if it had any affect at all.


Since I guess you learned or learning to play giutar here's an idea "The Romeros" are a family from Spain . The grandfather, father and sons all play classical guitar and they travel all over the world.Hope this helps.
Reply:The relation of music through out the would..


Like how different people interpret music, how its universal...


also how languages can be diffrent but music is the same ( reading it)
Reply:Ok go back and think of the first kind of the blues from a long time ago. The most wonderful blues there is. Look up Blind Lemon from Wortham, Texas. He was one awesome blues player. Then go to u tube and type in Bob Brozeman you will hear him play some of the same music, no amps. just a guitar. A national a beautiful steal guitar that puts out a sound that you do not need an amp for. Do your report on the History of the ragtime blues and trust me if you get into it and read about it you will love it and find a passion of music forever. Cab Galloway plays, it Betsy Smith, Ella Fritztella, and others like them. One was Blind Blake but he died in the 20's. Blind Lemon died in the 30's he was robbed in Chicago after he got paid at Christmas time.
Reply:How about you research the history of one country's music?


Or the history of the guitar? There's lots of topics =]
Reply:It would have to be on a topic that you feel interested and passionate enough to write about. Also something that you could find enough resource materials and information on. If you like music you could write about a famous movement in history like music during the Harlem Renaisance for example. Or you could write about a controversial political topic. It all depends your personal preferance.
Reply:You could do the history of the guitar, like how it was made and how it has developed.
Reply:History of the Banjo. Piece of piss.
