Mexican Mariachi Music Power Point Presentation
Your assignment is to present a thoughtful look at Mexican Mariachi Music, including important contextual information (history, geography, ethnicity, function), a survey of musical elements (instruments, rhythmic systems, melodic systems, harmonic systems), and prominent performers (include 2 YouTube links).
Format for Powerpoint presentation:
1. Organize a flow to your powerpoint file that includes:
A) Contextual information about the style
B) Musical elements at work (include music vocabulary).
C) Important 2 performers or performances in the style (include embedded YouTube videos here!)
D) Concluding thoughts about your chosen style, including some cross-reference and comparison/contrast to other styles studied this semester. Compare to Flamenco Music and Native American Music. Include 2 quotes from bibliographic entries.
2. Margins should be 1” on all sides. Do not justify the margins.
3. Your writing should be clear and to the point. Use correct spelling, punctuation, tense agreement, quantity agreement, grammar, and syntax. Each slide must include 2 illustrations.
4. Proofread your power point presentation carefully and make necessary corrections before handing it in!
5. Include a bibliography slide with at least three published sources in your bibliography (journal articles, books, encyclopedia articles). Wikipedia and other online sources DO NOT count as one of the three published sources (NO WIKIPEDIA OR WEBSITES!!!). Remember, accessing a printed book or journal online does not make it an online source, so you should seek to include such sources for credit even if you accessed it from jstor or ebsco from the library website.
***Please use MLA for bibliographic references.
