Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Intermediate Level
Once you know the basics of rap, the way to get better is to practice and get feedback. These 1-on-1 sessions will focus on deepening the learner's writing skills, helping them find their voice, and give them a safe space to experiment and express themselves fully.

Our approach will be as follows:
- Analyze exemplary works by the world's greatest rappers.
- Complete targeted writing challenges focused on specific techniques.
- Freestyle with an emphasis on entering the Flow State.
- Experiment with vocal delivery to hone in on vocal range and sweet spot.
- Learn generative techniques to overcome writers block.
- Explore other interests to expand the learner's knowledge base.


My Teaching Style

Fast Paced and Reflective: I emphasize getting into the work in a fun quick way but then allowing for focused time to write a quiet, reflective way. 

Hands-on Learning: The only way to learn to rap, is to rap. I will introduce a set of skills each class then let everyone put them to use right away.

Fun and Meaningful: Rap is an inherently fun medium and we emphasize the playfulness of it. At the same time, it is a medium used to express difficulty and struggle and students will be encouraged to explore their feelings to write something meaningful.

Gentle and Expressive: Writing is a very personal experience and I treat my learners with care, approaching each interaction with empathy and kindness. I also let my performative nature shine through when presenting topics to keep them highly engaging.

Learning Goals

Critical Analysis: identify and critique the techniques used by the greatest writers.
Free Self-Expression: eliminate barriers to self expression by practicing a variety of generative writing approaches.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
We will encounter mature topics throughout this class as we analyze the lyrics of various rappers and the learner explores in free expression.
