You may choose a person (in a band or soloist) who actually writes (creates) that music. Be sure this person or group writes school appropriate positive music. Send a picture or video of your presentation. (Optional)

Your chosen musician may be early period composers like Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart (extra credit for these). They may be early to mid-century composers like The Beatles, George Glass, Aaron Copland, or they may be newer composers like Steven Spielberg, John Williams (Star Wars), Whitney Houston, John Legend, Will Smith, Lady Gaga, and others as long as it is school appropriate.

Find someone who writes music you are passionate about, and write fun appropriate facts about them. You may present it on any medium you choose, Seesaw, video, mp3 (audio), slide show, I-Movie, Google form, Flipgrid, and other. Send pics and smaller files to: lsmcconnell@mpsomaha.org or Seesaw
