Write down two different beats, either in correct music notation or in a “fantasy” notation that you have invented.
1.) Complete your rap or write a new one; you can work with a partner. Your rap will have 1 Chorus (2 lines) and 2 Verses (2 – 4 lines each). Don’t worry about the amount of syllables; you don’t have to follow a beat.
An example for two good lines of rap:
Learning things is not always easy
Science is hard. I don’t get it. Believe me!
2.) Rehearse your rap so you can perform it in this order:
Chorus – Verse 1- Chorus – Verse 2 – Chorus
