The purpose of this project is to create an audio project that contains parts of several pieces of music "mashed" together to create a single music example. This medley mix is a process that is used in the music, TV, sports, and entertainment world. Many athletes (dance teams, cheerleaders, gymnastics routines) use medley mixes in their routines for competition. Medley mixes are often found on the radio for commercials. Think of a theme for this project:
“My Playlist” (what are your favorite pieces of music?) Favorite Artist? Favorite Style

6. At this time, please “re-label” any tracks with the correct name of song, including the added track as: “WORK TRACK.”
7. You are ready to begin finding different sections of all 6 songs and “pasting” them together in the “Work Track.”
8. You will need to COPY sections (do not CUT, as we want to keep the original music track unedited).
9. Project should reflect a total mix of all music used. Students should make several cuts from each selected piece of music.
10. Be creative and find ways to integrate all of your music.
11. Feel free to split tracks and play different pieces of music through different tracks.
12. Please refer to the diagram of “What To Do / What Not To DO”
