Study Card Format - Music 328: Women in Music

I recommend that you make three kinds of cards:

1. "Terms" cards -- from lecture and from the reading. It would be smart to put the definition and the piece in which the term was used on your flashcard. Remember that there is a glossary in the reader and on-line.

2. "Composer" cards -- a brief summary of a composer's primary biographical information.

3. "Repertory" cards -- which summarize what you've learned about each muscial example we'll study.

Suggested Format for Repertory Cards:

"Title of Selection" (if applicable) from Title of Larger Work/Composer/Date or Musical Era

1. genre [=category]

2. medium

3. texture

4. form

5. other significant musical elements

6. background -- why was this composed?
