Your task is to buddy up with someone. Let Miss R know who your partner is and which Musical Era you would like to research.
Please copy and paste the following questions into a Microsoft Word Document and save as "Last Name(s), First Letter of First Name(s), Musical Era Assignment".
1) What are the dates for your Musical Era? (Please state the name of the Era in your answer, ex. The Classical Period lasted from Date 1 until Date 2).
2) What are musical characteristics of your Musical Era? (Ie. In the Baroque Era, many composers used terraced dynamics). Please provide a minimum of five musical characteristics. You may use bullet points to generate your list.
