Through a combination of studying and analyzing the lyrics of the greats as well as dissecting the lyrics of our own personal heroes, we will work to understand what we love about certain lyricists and integrate their approaches into our own lyrical style. Through a series of exercises, games, and in-class writing activities, we will generate material in class, providing you with the dedicated space and accountability to push yourself to finish the lyrics of both new ideas and any incomplete songs you have kicking around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTopics covered:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhyme Schemes and Patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerspective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorytelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacter Development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmotional Clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Role of Cliche\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrerequisites:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen to all levels.
