This module will hone your awareness of the role of lyrics in song-writing. Through analysis of lyrical case studies, and experimentation within your own lyric writing, you will explore themes such as: social commentary, introspection, story-telling, and scene-setting when considering narrative. These literary themes will be complemented by exploration of lyric in a musical setting, taking in to consideration its relationship with melody, vocal range and technique, and phrasing when considering prosody.

LO1: Analyse and critically reflect on use of narrative and prosody in lyric writing.
LO2: Explore, through practical application, the use of narrative and prosody in your own practice.
LO3: Examine and engage with different literary devices utilised in lyric writing
LO4: Examine the relationship between lyric and voice in performance contexts
