=**WELCOME TO THE 7TH GRADE GENERAL MUSIC WIKISPACE!**=

Course Overview
This year in 7th grade, we will be taking a very exciting journey that will explore the role of music in the world around us. Music is a part of our everyday existence in many ways that might not always be obvious. Through a series of projects (you will be creating a variety of music & media projects) we will look at the ways that music is utilized in media & cultures around the world. The following is a list of the projects you’ll be completing over the next eight weeks.

• This Week in Music Podcast • Commercial Jingle Project (with Video Class) • Music for Film • World Music Wikispace • Music & Poetry (with Mr. Cohen) • Music & Art • Music & Mathematics • Music in our World Compositions

We’ll explain what all of these projects are in the next few days.You will be working in groups for every project, and your groups will change for each one. Collaborative projects are a great way to get to know one another and discover your strengths. Your grade will be determined by your individual effort on each project, as well as your work with your partner.

As far as what to bring with you to class, you’ll only need a notebook with a folder and a pen or pencil.

Let’s have a great class!
