Once you have your key areas of discussion formulate an essay structure that includes critique of opposing views and complementing views of the roles of music education.

Your introduction should outline what arguments or key topics your essay will cover.

Your essay will finish with a conclusion which sums up your arguments and makes concluding statements. The conclusion will also often offer future recommendations. Your essay must use correct referencing in APA style. Please refer to your student handbook for rules on Plagiarism.
