Songwriting Lesson – How To Write A Verse (Part 2)

What do you do in this songwriting lesson?

In this lesson we look at using various musical techniques to give our songs an engaging verse. Holding a songwriting session is a great way to grab classes attention by getting them to write songs based on their own experiences in life. This lesson will help with both musicianship skills as well as english language skills. This lesson allows your kids to explore their expressive side and get creative!
