Clarify the topic and narrow it down. Keep in mind that a paper about the history of the trumpet could end up becoming a Ph.D. dissertation-scale project entailing years of research. More than likely, such a general topic already has numerous published articles and books which are available through your university library collection or Interlibrary Loan (ILL). The key is to refine your topic and see what is possible given the time constraints of your semester and the library's resources. Ask your professor for suggestions if you have difficulty identifying an interesting topic.

You will need to engage in the four step research process that is outlined in the Webpage Guide to Music Research:

Step One: Clarify & Consult

Step Two: Identify & Evaluate

Step Three: Refine & Redirect

Step Four: Note & Cite

After locating, reading, and taking notes from numerous sources, you are ready to write.
