Magazine proposal finished (plain text)

Magazine Proposal

Good morning/afternoon Editors,

My name is Jessica Isaacs and I am here to propose to you a great idea for a new music magazine.

My music magazine is called MusicDanceStyle.

MusicDanceStyle is a music/dance magazine with fashion advice and articles on new and upcoming artists and dancers for the readers.

My chosen musical genre is Pop/Lyrical.

Pop is mostly listened to by children, young people and adults. The genre appeals to all ages – although, some artists swear in their music which can be seen as inappropriate and/or offensive to certain religions and races. MusicDanceStyle sees this - but is also about positive and cleaner types of music for all ages, not just a select group. Some pop songs include Cold Water by Justin Bieber, Don't Look Down by Martin Garrix and Light it Up by Major Lazor.

However, Lyrical music is taken from the dance style lyrical, which is used to express the artist’s feelings in an artistic or striking way. This simply means "beautiful music."

Lyrical songs include Angel by Scarlett Cherry, Epiphany by Angela Predhomme, Say Something and the piano version of You Can Be Anything from the Wizards of Oz (featuring Glenna Bree). Lyrical music has less profanity in the words. Because the tune itself is so beautiful, to put taboo lexis into it would ruin the genre of the song and the message the artist is trying to communicate to the audience. 

MusicDanceStyle is different to other music magazines, because it only really focusses on two genres of music - as well as dance and fashion. MusicDanceStyle would star up and coming musicians, artists and dancers. Students and young stars would also be able to contribute to the articles in the magazine, more articles and less advertisements so it doesn't stray away from the purpose of the magazine. Because it is a type of "stars by stars" magazine, the cost wouldn't be as much as magazines like Billboard - which charge up to £5 for one copy - and that magazine is mostly advertisements. 

By combining the two styles together, you get an upbeat but powerful and emotional piece of music. You also get a creative view of the style and a fusion of love, passion and beauty.

I hope you like my idea and I will now take questions.

Thank you for listening.
