For the structure, I chose to use the same method that I researched using the 5 aspects of workshop planning.
Analysis: What do we want to achieve? We would like to gain experience and present our knowledge to someone. What is the ideal outcome? A smooth running project, which educates people on how to write a song.
Planning: Introduction – Ice breakers – 10 minutes
Theory – Circle of 5ths, song structure, time signatures – 30 minutes
Harmony – Build on theory, pick a key and build chord sequences – 15 minutes
Rhythm – Games and basic rhythms – 15 minutes
Melody and lyrics – Talk through various methods (1 or 2?) – 15 minutes
End – Survey and blockbusters to show progress and assessment – 10 minutes
Development: Why? To teach songwriting.
How? Three 1 hour sessions of practical work, using PowerPoints and other programs to aid the lesson.
What? Performing to the clients as well as taking a step by step approach to the lesson.
Rehearsals: Stick to a script and carry out the tester workshop to help us improve.
Evaluation: Videos, surveys, blockbusters, audio recordings and written evaluations of these.
