We will also discuss integrating book and lyrics, approaches to writing musically and collaboratively, break down song structure and how to work with a composer!

Who’s it for: This course is ideal for playwrights looking to explore writing for musical theatre, as well as lyricists/composers who want to explore working in the genre.
