Mitchell presents a performance they created with the combination of exercises and ends with “10 Things” (that they turn into 14 Things), with a list of advice, wisdom, lived experience, dos and don’ts, etc.

Part 3 is an extension of Part 2 with additional activities, explanation, and discussion.

Mitchell introduces their practice with featured exercises, skill building, creation techniques, and artistic discussion.

Mitchell addresses students with an introduction to their practice; sharing advise, guidance and anecdotes.

Lancelot discusses how to deal with nerves when getting ready to perform. In addition to the “10 Things” to remember when creating and performing, Lancelot performs some of his own original songs, including the song he developed with students in Part 3.

Lancelot guides students through the process of writing their own song to a melody he composed. Students will explore metaphor and rhyme as they create two verses and one chorus to their own thematic song.

Students are introduced to the fundamentals of songwriting by breaking down the parts that make up a song. Lancelot also discusses considerations involved in the writing process including the theme, melody, finding the right words, use of syllables, and rhyming.

Meet the Artist. Lancelot introduces students to his journey on how he came to be a musician and the various projects and work he engages in.
