Music section?

Question

My class is doing a school magazine.

We are seperated in to groups,each one doin a different subject (fashion,sports,horoscopes...)

And i am in the group where we have to write about music.

With pictures,polls,exct.

Do you have any ideas for this?

Answer 1

I've done rock/metal journalism, so maybe I can offer some insight. Since it's a high school paper, it would be a good idea to focus a bit, but not limit yourself to local bands, especially ones whose musicians attend your school. Like I said though, you don't have to limit yourself to that, you could do interviews and reviews based on bands you like etc. I got to interview my favorite singer from my favorite band of all time, when I was 19, and I'll always look back fondly. It's a great thing to get into, except for the fact that there's no money involved, or very little anyway.

Try to come up with unique ideas too. Ask some people in school to spit out 10 random tracks of music they dig, and to give a brief explanation on each track. Or you could also sit down with a musician and make him listen to a compilation CD you mixed, and get his opinion on each track.

Answer 2

don't just focus on one type of music like pop or rap do different kinds of music! also try to do like local bands and if there's any concerts near your area.

Answer 3

you can try to sort things out together like in a poster or something

Answer 4

well if it has to do with recent music news you could write about mariah carey. if her new single, which is already #1 on itunes, goes to #1 on the billboard charts it will beat elvis presely's record of 17 #1 hits. she is also coming out with a new album soon.
