Faculty of Music Style

Consistency of presentation is of great importance, particularly regarding the way you cite other publications, whether books, journals, music editions, recordings or web sites. Using a style guide is the best way of guaranteeing the consistency of presentation that is demanded of you. For this subject (and most subjects in the Faculty of Music) the style guide to be used is:

• Gibaldi, Joseph. MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 4th ed. New York: MLA, 1995.

Copies are available at the Reserve Desk in the Music Library.

Please note the preferred Faculty footnote style is set out in Appendix B1: author/date citations are not acceptable, except with the express permission of the lecturer.
