\nYou will explore the prosodic relationship between lyrics and melody, harmony, arrangement, rhythm and structure within original songs, as well as within the work of established writers, which will also help you develop your own distinct idiolect (or artistic ‘voice’).
\nYou will be introduced to key lyric writing techniques and apply and develop these into original work. Additionally, you will incorporate narrative tools and strategies from poetry, literature and other relevant media and culture.
\nYou will consider cultural identity, gender identity and/or a personal viewpoint, and explore how these elements might be expressed through narrative.
\nThe module will also consider the impact of interpretative performance, instrumental arrangement, and studio production on narrative delivery.
\nThe development of critical analysis, self-evaluation and high-level lyric writing skills will be a key part of weekly content, and subsequently, you will be expected to develop a wide range of imaginative, original material, both individually and collaboratively.
