Music History Storybook
We will create a storybook describing the history of the music of the western world. You will create a character to travel through time, the more absurd the better. As we travel through time, your character should interact with the music and life of each time period and narrate the story. Fill the pages of the book with everything that you learn about each time period. Here are the time periods we will study.
Middle Ages
Renaissance
Baroque
Classical
Romantic
20th Century
21st Century
