The music journal

When and where?

• You should journal after every exercise/rehearsal/performance done in class or at home

• Keep the sections clear - perhaps one for each component (Exploring, Experimenting, Presenting and Contemporary Music Maker (HL only)) or one for each role (Researcher, Creator, Presenter) - take care to ensure each piece within each role is clearly linked to the components

• Make sure you know which Area of Inquiry is linked to each journal entry

• Use different forms for recording notes - docs/video/audio

• Tag or link each entry to help pull together your final submissions

• Cite every link clearly at the time of finding - this will make your bibliographies easy to write.
