I live for this – Rap education
Music and rhyme workshop for 13–17 year olds
A rhyme and music workshop to learn to rap.
A theoretical section, which looks at the history of the cultural phenomenon behind hip-hop and the rap culture followed by a practical workshop session. This will involve: lyrics, rhyming, writing, rap bar structure and, finally, the creation of your own track.
The young people involved will be encouraged to read, write and create their own form of expression, to find the strength to overcome their problems, through rhyme. At the end of the course, the participants will feel ready to perform their songs before a specially invited audience.
In collaboration with Amir Issaa.
When booking the first event, registration will be valid for the entire duration of the course.
