Study with Coach
Save your actual school result to count your credits.
You need to write three completely original songs and present them in a way that shows imaginative, creative thinking. Each song needs both lyrics and music that work together purposefully, and you'll need to record them and provide written materials (lyrics and chords) so someone else could perform them. The songs can be solo or group work, but your individual creative contribution must be clear.

- ·Structure and refine your songs so the lyrics, melody, and harmony work together on purpose to express your creative intent
- ·Create a recording of each song being performed
- ·Provide clear written representations: a lyric sheet and chord sheet for each song that would allow someone else to learn and perform it
