We all practice the results of the lyricist’s trade whenever we sing a song we know, but in this course we’ll look into how those choices are made, and get some practice at generating our own lyrics.This course starts the participant on the practice of putting words together with music. Writing a song lyric requires matching syllables in words with melody notes to be sung in time over a rhythm. We start with short phrases and build up to complete lyrics. By the end participants will have generated a lyric for a familiar existing song, and at least one lyric which can be set by a composer to produce a complete work.
