Cover Song Comparison Project

Students will be asked to:

• Brainstorm songs that have been covered by other artists
• Choose 1 song from their brainstorm to conduct an in-depth analysis of the elements of music, as well as reflect, compare and contrast how the two versions are the same and different from one another
• Complete a written component, where students will explain which version they prefer, what the song makes them think of, and why they chose that specific song
• Create cover art to express the music they hear through a visual representation
• A rubric for assessment, with a success criteria checklist that students can refer too while completing the assignment and before they submit.

This assignment is a great way for students to choose a song of their choice and analyze how musical elements can change the mood and intention of the same song.
