So You Wanna Be A Lyric Writer
Course Code: DED101-C
School: Distance-Education.org
Description
This course is primarily designed for the beginner with no musical training. The product of this course is comprised of two sets of lyrics for two original songs, and a query letter.
Music is part of all of our lives. Studies tell us that people who listen to music, sing, play a musical instrument, or write music and lyrics themselves score higher on tests, get better jobs, and smile more than their less musically inclined neighbors. To be a true lyric writer, you will need three things -- your imagination, your creativity, and a little bit of your ego. This course will teach you to trust your inner muse, compose your lyrics, and sell or publish your work.
Outcomes
Students will learn to compose:
- The lyrics for two songs
- A query letter to mail to a print or electronic publisher, record company, or musical artist.
Assessment
Students demonstrate knowledge by developing skills in lyric writing and music industry savvy and starting a portfolio of their work by:
- Composing the lyrics for two songs.
- Writing a query letter to accompany the lyrics to agents, record companies, and musical artists.
