How to write a research paper on pianos?

so i have this research paper due next week, and i get to choose whatever i want to write about. and i have to use at least one book as my resource, so i i chose piano because thats the only good book i have with me right now and that i've been playing piano for 8 years. but i don't know how to start out my paper. i need to say something that is somewhat opinion-like ( for example, if pianos were never around we would all die) but except more reasonable. HELP!

How to write a research paper on pianos?
You should start by going through the book and seeing quickly what is covered. See if you can make an argument about the piano's influence on music itself, for example: Ragtime music could not have been created if the piano had not been invented. Or you could go historical and argue about how pianos evolved music from medieval music into classical music. Or figure out who an influential pianist was and argue that her or his style of playing influenced today's techniques. Or you could argue that while they were ppular for their time, they didn't survive through generations.





Once you have an argument, find your evidence. Using your book, carefully search for parts that support your argument.





Good Luck!
Reply:do some resarch on the history of a piano and how it has developed over the past years..... your topic and argument could possible be how music itself have developed due to pianos!!!
