Music/Bass Related Essay Suggestions

Hey everyone,

Next year I'll be a senior in the International Baccalaureate program, and one of the requirements to complete the program is what is called an extended essay, which is a research paper of up to 4,000 words. The topics were due last month, but I've been slacking and haven't really done anything yet, including choosing a topic.

The extended essay must be in one of the subject areas covered by the IB program, and music is one of those. I would like to do my essay on a music-related topic, and it would be great if you guys help me with some ideas. The guidelines for the topic are fairly strict; they are available here (scroll down to the music section).

Here is an excerpt from the guidelines:

And an example topic: "What is the influence of Edgard Varese on the musical output of Frank Zappa?"

Any ideas would be appreciated, and being related to bass is a bonus.

Thanks

 

A lot of people say that IB is so much work, but once you're in it, you'll realize that it really isn't that hard, and you'll get a lot out of it, especially college acceptances. Are you in pre-IB now?


Also, I'm still looking for ideas if anyone has any . No one has any interesting ideas relating to music?
