Citations
Any use of sources must be documented in MLA, APA, or Chicago-Turabian style [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/]. You should only use signed sources (that is, sources that have a named author). You may use Wikipedia to help find signed articles, but Wikipedia should not be used as a source itself. Anytime you directly quote more than a phrase of five words from another source, you must enclose them in quotation marks. Reserve quotations for truly unique formulations or controversial statements; paraphrase (and cite) your source whenever possible.
The more important musical terms you properly use, the better your paper will be (try to use about 8 of these terms). When you use these terms put them in bold.
