About this subject
Songwriting is a powerful means to express ideas, emotions and important messages that connect with audiences and communities. In this subject you will be introduced to popular music songwriting and performance techniques across a variety of contemporary genres including rock, pop, folk, hip hop and electronica. You will also explore the role of music production approaches in songwriting. You will learn how to analyse popular song structures, navigate conventions of instrumentation and harmony, and form a technical understanding of how popular songs develop themes, styles and emotions. You will assess the relationship between live music performance and songwriting in order to understand how performance modifies and augments musical texts. Throughout the trimester you will develop lyric writing skills and craft an original song in your preferred genre. The unit will culminate with a performance of the song.
