All questions must be completed thoroughly to receive approval for your
Senior Project. Some projects will be submitted to a committee for final
approval. This form must be completed and returned to your senior English
teacher by Friday, August 17, 2012. You will not be allowed to change your
topic after October 12, 2012.
The Senior Project is subject to the plagiarism policies set forth by the district
and Creekview High School.
1) Describe the overall topic of your Senior Project.
I will be exploring music composition.
2) What is your previous experience in this area of study?
My previous experience has been my 14 years of musical study through private lessons.
3) To what career will you connect this project (required)?
I will be connecting this project to the career of composing.
4) Describe what you are proposing to do for your Product step-by-step and in detail. Write
on the back of this sheet if necessary.
I plan to compose and record a full-length instrumental song. First, I will compile the
instruments, software, and other equipment necessary. These will include piano, guitar,
bass guitar, percussive, and string instruments. From there, I will begin the cycle of
composing on an instrument and then writing the sheet music, one section at a time. Once I
have practiced and memorized each part, I will record each instrument. I will be using a
video/audio editing software to put each recorded instrument part together.
5) How is this project a “learning stretch” and a challenge for you?
This project is a “learning stretch” for me because I have never fully followed through with
the composition of a full piece. I have also never written out sheet music for my
compositions.
6) What are your estimated costs for completing the Product, and how will you fund these
costs?
Everything I need is already in my house, therefore I won’t require any funding for this
project.

2. 7) Who have you chosen (or are considering choosing) as your Project Facilitator?
I am considering choosing my piano teacher, Tony Winston, as my project facilitator.
8) What is this person’s expertise in this field?
Tony Winston has a graduate in music theory. He has been the pianist/vocalist for many
bands who play at all sorts of events: weddings, parties, symphonic concerts, restaurants,
bars, and music clubs. He has produced a cover album. He has many connections in the
music industry. He teaches about 30 kids, meeting every one or two weeks with them. He
does his own composing as a hobby as well.
