You will be using one of the theories below and applying the theory to a musical song of your choice. The application piece must include defining the theory in your own words and then taking aspects of the song and applying it to the theory. Your assignment must also include a link to the official video or a copy of the lyrics.

You must post your assignment to the Class Discussion Board titled Module 5 - Music Theory Application. You MAY NOT utilize any other song that has already been posted. So please review other student's posts. You must also read and respond to at least one other students post.

For an example of what I am looking for see the linked article: Criminological Theory as Represented in Music. Students are not allowed to utilize the songs listed in the article. Your definition does not have to be as detailed as described in the article, but your application should be as detailed.

Theories: Select ONE

Classical Criminology
