The process is more natural through practice and often is a process of going back and forth between building a relationship between the words and the music. If writing an instrumental piece of music some of the rules still apply.
Writing words. This is one method that can be used. Generate song ideas and words connected to that idea. - Use a mind map, use a free flow of thinking Sort - Categorise Words Identify 6 significant words to your subject Connect - Create the 4 best lines of lyrics you can create using two of the significant words in each line. Elaborate - Connect the lines to make sense- refine to become a verse in the song. From this point you must keep a process journal.
A proposal explains - How are you going to write your song. Write a paragraph of what subject and ideas that you may want to explore in your song and why? Subject topics

How does the musician want their music to be perceived? Is it giving an alternative perspective? Interviews from musicians talking about their music can help give these perpectives and ideas of who they are. The Fusion music that you choose to create needs to be from two distinct musical styles. The styles of music are from a different place and time (Space and Time) Here are some examples to help you.

The presentation will demonstrate the student’s: · Knowledge and understanding of art which distorts, abstracts or blends space and time, including a thorough analysis and perceptive interpretation of their research.
