Hello, readers!
On 25th of February, for the first time ever, our south
branch students have engaged in something completely different – a hip-hop
workshop. Led by Mergim Memoviq, the class started off with the introduction of
the genre and the interpretation of its lyrics in general.
The introduction consisted of a discussion about hip-hop as
a revolutionary genre since mid 70s until now. The students were taught about
the first steps of hip-hop, its pillars, and what hip-hop contains as a music
genre. The entire workshop was followed with interaction and many of the main
hip-hop figures were mentioned, as well as their impact in the music industry.
The discussion extended to the evolution of the genre and the inspiration
behind it.
During the lyrics interpretation session, participants were asked to interpret their favorite hip-hop verses and to try
to freestyle on their own. Participants also
discussed rhyming styles and the importance of
combining different writing techniques to create good hip-hop lyrics.
Overall, the workshop was very successful and we’re excited about engaging the students
in music genres not yet celebrated at the Rock School.
