My Research Proposal
The topic I would like to research is the history of jazz music. My family is very involved with music, especially my younger brother. My younger brother composes his own music, is in his schools' orchestra and jazz band, does several after school activities for music, and recently submitted work to Governor's School for music composition. My younger brother is especially fond of jazz style music, and it has also made me interested in learning more about this genre of music. I would like to look into the history of jazz, how it came about, what effects it had on society during its time, the different eras of jazz music, and some of its influential musicians.
Some guiding questions I have for my research paper are:
What is jazz music?
Who are some famous jazz musicians?
What are the different eras of jazz music?
What effect(s) did it have on society?
Keywords:
| Jazz music |
| History of Jazz music |
| Famous Jazz musicians |
