person (as a timeline)

performed or composed
- Context about their lives
– where do/did they live, when do/did they live, what influences are/were
important to them, scope of their work (how many, where, etc…)
- Video and/or audio links
online for us to see/hear
- A statement about their
value as a composer/performer to the greater musical world

value to you
- Cite your sources,
including anything you find on the internet

your information, please talk with Ms. S before the due date.
