Lyrically Literate Music & Rap Workshops

The Lyrically Literate music workshops give young people the opportunity to creatively and critically express themselves on issues that affect them from street crime to bullying, to just being a teenager.

This exciting music workshop is designed to enable young people to musically express their thoughts and feelings through writing lyrics and performing them with a cappella or over instrumentals to the rest of the group.

What happens at the Music workshops?

The groups will have the chance to create original songs by writing their own lyrics and raps

Once they have written and performed their lyrics, the young people will get professional advice and guidance that will enhance their performance and lyrical skills.

For the grand finale, the groups will get to perform their songs for the rest of the school/organisation or to their fellow participants in this workshop. They will also get a chance to record their creations and take their songs home with them. They can even upload them to their own social website.
