Project: For my project, me and my band will play at the bonfire. It will be at the high school and I will prepare for it during practices on weekends. The result of the work that I put into this will hopefully be that there will be a good performance. I will use the performance to demonstrate my topic because it will show that if students work hard enough and practice hard then they can perform in front of other people and form bands with their friends. It will demonstrate my experience because music has been a large part of my life and it will show at the performance. I will complete the project by practicing for the performance and also by setting up the stage where we will perform. There are many things that I will need in order to do my project. There is already a time, and a place to do it which is Friday, October 15th at Springfield high school. There will be a stage provided and my band will help me set up and obviously play with me during the performance. I have all the instruments and equipment needed to do the project.

Research: The topic of my research is to find out the effect of music programs on school students and their learning abilities. I chose this topic because music has been a huge part of my life, and I have been playing the guitar and drums for almost ten years. Music programs are being taken away from schools because schools look at them as pointless classes but they actually help students and a lot of their subjects. My essential question is; What is the effect of music programs on school students and how they learn. I have not had any experience with this topic before but I have seen a commercial for an organization called Save The Music. This organization raises money and donates it to schools that can not afford a music program so that students can have the chance to play music. People who think that music programs are not important will benefit from this topic and hopefully change their minds about it.
