What students learn and why they love it
Students learn how rhythm, melody, and harmony fit together by building a song one layer at a time, starting from words they write themselves. They love it because they begin with something easy, a rhythmic rap on a single note, then hear their own Halloween rhyme grow into a real melody with chords they chose.
