MODE- Blog post online MEDIA- Online AUDIENCE- Primarily parents of students who are of age to be considering participation in band, but is also open to anyone who is curious of the benefits of music education on young minds PURPOSE- To educate those on the importance of music education SITUATION- I was curious as to the benefits music education has on students and their academic and social lives, prompting me to research the topic and construct my project around that idea

What did you research and why? I researched the benefits of musical education on young children's minds, because music has always been something I've been passionate about. I want people to know that musical education prepares you for much more than your next concert, and I want to prove that musical education prepares you for life.

What did you create and why? I created a blog post, with references to other articles to back my claim that music education is important. I have a personal story that helps guide the argument, and the inclusion of that story would look unprofessional if I chose to write an argumentative essay.
