1. Introduction/Thesis
Does the introduction provide a brief overview of the research topic? Explain.
The introduction is kind of confusing and hard to understand what the paper is going to be about. The first two sentences are confusing, for people who don’t know what emsemble, band and understudies are it can be hard to understand.
What is the main argument/thesis of this essay? (re-write below)
These projects can have a positive impact on understudies who are trying to figure out how to create cooperation with their accomplices and improve fixation on their work. Also, playing their instruments is useful for their general learning proficiency. All these have an impact and brings about a noticeable improvement on understudies. Hence, school music projects should not get wiped out.
Is the thesis well-stated? Does it present an argument? Explain.
I was unclear about the thesis statement, I thought the whole intro was a thesis, so if it was it needs to be cut down to one sentence.
What suggestions do you have to improve any of these elements of the introduction?
Try to grab the readers attention in the first sentence, also you need to explain better about some of the terms in your intro, make sure your readers will understand some of the terms. And lastly, the topic sentence should be once sentence.
2. Integrating Sources
Is the source material integrated using signal phrases? (provide an example)
No there are no sources in this paper. (In Fairfax, public schools have programs where youngsters can play in a symphony or in other music exercises and they start at forward grade.) I believe this was a source but it was quoted or sourced. So just make sure your quotes and citing your sources when you place them in your paper.
Is all of the source material cited properly in APA style? Is there a Reference page? Explain.
There are no sources cited in the paper but there is a reference page. And looks corre.

In partnership with the USC Thornton School of Music
Careers Through Music:
A series of lesson plans on the value of studying music in preparation for all careers
Lesson 1: Networking and Collaboration in Music and Beyond
(Created by Chris Sampson Edited by David R. Sears)
Lesson Format: This lesson plan is designed to be easily incorporated into your band, orchestra,
choral or other middle or high school music class. It is suggested that you take 8-10 minutes at the
beginning of a class to introduce the topic, take any questions and assign the included worksheet.
On the due date of the worksheet, schedule another 8-10 minutes to reflect and summarize the
lesson and answer any final questions.
Introduction: Among the most important skill sets learned through the study of music is
collaboration. The experience of successful collaboration and working with a team can be
something your students take with them into their professional lives whether they plan on pursuing
music as a career or not. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce high school music students to
networking and collaboration, demonstrate how it works in their music class, in the music profession,
and show them the value of this skill in other professional environments.
Learning Objectives: From this lesson, students should be able to:
• Articulate how successful collaboration takes place in their music class – both in and out of
the classroom
• Identify and describe multiple music related careers
• Describe how these careers interact and are inter-dependent in a music network
• Compare and contrast collaborative work environments in other fields outside of music
• Articulate the basic skills necessary for successful collaboration and networking
8-10 Minute Lesson Introduction: At the beginning of a class, inform students that you will be
presenting how collaboration and networking works in a music environment and how these skills can
be applied to virtually all career pursuits. Teachers are encouraged to draw upon their own
experience and examples when presenting this material. Describe examples of collaboration that
take place within your music classroom such as:
• Among stand partners
• Within ensemble sections
• Between director and ensemble
• Between accompanist and ensemble director
Describe how collaboration takes place between your music class and outside partners to meet
specific goals such as presenting a concert:
• Interaction with department chair or administration
• Coordination with facilities and technical personnel
• Interaction with community, parents or volunteers
3. Careers In and Through Music Lesson 1: Networking and Collaboration in Music and Beyond
In partnership with the USC Thornton School of Music
Show connection to other career fields: Explain that the experience of successful collaboration
and working with a team that is learned in music class also takes place in virtually all other career
fields: e.g. the medical field, tech sector, engineering, manufacturing, education, etc. (Again,
teachers are encouraged to draw upon their own experience and knowledge of non-music fields
while providing examples.)
• Make a point of emphasis that successful collaboration is mutually beneficial among team
members and that it doesn’t simply involve obtaining things that are exclusively beneficial to
you.
• Answer any questions that your class may have.
Worksheet Assignment: Distribute the two-page worksheet below to your students and provide a
due date that works best with the schedule of your class. Tell students to be prepared to discuss
their work on the due date.
8-10 Minute Lesson Summary and Reflection: On the due date of the worksheet, schedule 8-10
minutes at the beginning of class to review and summarize the lesson. Encourage discussion
among the class. As part of the discussion, have students articulate:
• How networking and collaboration takes place in their music class
• How networking and collaboration takes place in music careers
• How networking and collaboration takes place in careers outside of music
• How the skills learned in music can be related to careers outside of music
Answer any final questions or discuss any final reflections students may have.
Next in this Lesson Series: Future lessons will include experiential exercises for your students to
put these skills into practice to benefit your music program.
Questions: Should you have any questions about this lesson plan or need assistance, please send
