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.

LO2: Explore, through practical application, the use of narrative and prosody in your own practice.
