Title: A Presentation by Courtney Kramer, Becky Searing and Mary Lou Qualler from Kettle Moraine Middle Sch


1
The Music Industry
  • A Presentation by Courtney Kramer, Becky Searing
    and Mary Lou Qualler from Kettle Moraine Middle
    School

2
The Problem
  • Here is the graph of how money is distributed
    among those involved in creating a CD. The
    songwriters are not happy with the amount of
    money they are getting. What should be done
    about the request? Why?

3
The Field Trip to Cascio Music Super Store
  • As an introduction to our project, the students
    visited a retail store.
  • The store featured
  • Musical instruments
  • A repair department
  • Sheet music
  • Local artists
  • Recording studio

4
The students enjoyed the tour of the retail store.
There were a variety of things to look at.
5
Research
  • In the reading classes, the students researched
    one of the roles.
  • The students then worked together in groups of
    three (all from the same role) to compose a
    persuasive essay based on their research.

6
Speakers from the Real World
  • After the students completed their research, they
    heard personal experiences from a true
    songwriter, a singer, and a man that worked at
    Casico.

7
POWERPOINT
  • The groups of three (all from the same role)
    created PowerPoint presentations.
  • The students presented their role to the class
    via PowerPoint.

Songwriters

The Role of a Songwriter
  • Writes lyrics and music for performing artists.

10
Songwriter's Responsibilities
  • Write songs
  • Create lyrics
  • Sell songs to artists
  • Are present at recording studios to make sure
    their song is the way they want it

11
Only 3?
  • Songwriters only receive 3 of the money made on
    a CD
  • We feel that songwriters should get more money
    because they are the base of making CDs.
  • If there were no more songwriters, there would be
    no more music!

12
Remember...
  • Without songwriters, there would be no more music
    as we know it!

13
Making a Decision
  • After the presentations, groups of six students
    debated what would be the best answer to the
    question.
  • They created a new graph based on their decision.
  • The graphs were presented to the class along with
    their rationale behind their decision.
