Music Transcription Project

Student will accurately transcribe an approved song of their choice to transcribe the melody and rhythm. A transcription of music is writing out music on paper based upon listening to the music. Students can do this project alone or as a part of a group. Students who do this alone will need a recording of the music to play with the recording. Students who wish to work together as a group will still be graded individually based upon their transcription accuracy and performance level. With groups, all members must have different parts that are being performed
