Tuesday 9th August- Learn Lyrics with Passive: Rapping and Music Production

Would you love to be able to learn the basics in writing lyrics and the theory behind flows to create your own rap? Passive the Rapper is here to teach you it all.

In this workshop, you will learn the basics in writing lyrics and the theory behind flows, punchline, rhyming and rhyme schemes. Writing stories and being able to get a point across while sounding good is an important part of rap. All it takes is a little bit of perspective, to be able to think outside the box and alter how you think of rhyming words together. Passive will help you understand the fundamentals in writing good raps and be able to walk away with enough knowledge to write and progress at home.

You will use studio equipment so that you can experience what it's like to record your own song/rap with a microphone.

Passive is a multi talented producer, writer , studio engineer and DJ, with over 5 years of writing experience and 3 years production and studio experience.

The workshop will focus on key vocal warm ups, understanding the voice and its anatomy.
