By the end of this class, we as a group will have written a lead sheet for a cabaret song. We'll start by playing clips of a diverse array of standalone musical theatre songs and discussing what makes them work well for the format. After that, we'll brainstorm a character and the story their song will tell. This will inform us of the musical language the song will utilize, and from there we'll write the lyrics, pairing that with a melody and chords for a finished song all our own.
