harmonic rhythm
Take your chord progression from last week and adapt it using the techniques mentioned above... We'll be using these later...
basic modulation
chromatic harmony (see 10:35)
flash lyrics
- Automatic writing with a focus...
- Start by thinking of a person in your life
- Visualise their home/room
- Pick an object
- 'FREE WRITE' about this object as though you are talking to an interested friend
- Don't re-read just write!
- When you're finished swap with another person and they will select a handful of phrases they think are usable
songwriting the ultimate challenge!
Individually write as much of a song as you can using any of the chord/melody techniques we have covered over the last two weeks. This could be:
A hook
A verse or chorus idea
A lyric with a melodic phrase
A whole song (ish...)
