I made your life a misery. I was SO messed up.

In this clip we're going to look at how we go about writing the words

or lyrics for our songs.

What we are going to do is some exercises in lyric writing.

Before we filmed I Know Me,

we worked out the lyrics for several songs

such as the bullying sequence, So Angry and It's Scary Tonight.

You can create your own lyrics for these songs.

We worked together before the show to create the lyrics.

Here we are working on the middle section of the song So Angry.

First, let's all learn the phrase

that we're trying to write lyrics for. It goes like this...

# Der der dum Der der dum

# Der der dum Der der dum. #

Shall we try that all together? So, one, two, three and...

# Der der dum

# Der der dum Der der dum

# Der der dum. #

Let's try that again. Two, three, four...

# Der der dum

# Der der dum Der der dum

# Der der dum. #

Now it's your turn. Try and sing along with the tune.

One, two, three and...

NOTES PLAY

We're writing some lyrics for the song So Angry.

If we're writing a song about feeling angry

let's think about the things that make us angry.

What makes our character Jake angry?

I was so angry for a long time. The other kids used to pick on me.

They used to bully me, like I bullied Sidney.

You became like the children that bullied you.

I didn't feel like anyone cared. It got me all twisted up inside.

So, what do you think, guys? What kind of things make you angry?

-Being ignored.

-Being ignored. Yes, sure. Sophie?

-Not getting your own way.

-Not getting your own way!

Yeah, that can make you angry! What else? Luke?

-When people shout at me.

-Yeah.

-It just gets me a bit angry.

That makes you angry and upset, doesn't it? Charlotte?

-When people bully me.

-Yeah, bullying. Absolutely. James?

-People calling me names.

-Calling you names, yes.

What about you? What makes you feel angry?

You can pause now to think about it.

What makes you angry?

So, we've got all our ideas together now,

of the things that make us angry, the things that make you angry.

Now we need to try to make those ideas fit the tune that we learnt.

Do you remember how that went?

# Der der dum

# Der der dum Der der dum

# Der der dum. #

Let's try it all together again. One, two, three and...

# Der der dum

# Der der dum Der der dum

# Der der dum. #

# Throwing chairs, breaking plates Smashing glass, full of hate!

# Throwing chairs, breaking plates Smashing glass, full of hate. #

How are we going to go about fitting the ideas we've had to that tune?

# Throwing chairs, breaking plates Smashing glass, full of hate. #

Now, Our phrase of music that we've learnt has got three notes to it.

# Der der dum. #

# Throwing chairs... #

What does that make you feel like you want to do?

When you're angry, what do you want to do?

How do you get your anger out?

Throwing a chair across the classroom.

So, the idea of throwing a chair across the classroom,

how could we turn that into three syllables?

# Der der dum. #

-Robbie?

-Throwing chairs.

-Throwing chairs, that'd fit. So...

-Shall we try and sing that together?

-Yeah.

-Two, three, four...

Good, well done. All right, let's take one of your other ideas.

Robbie, what were you going to say?

-Erm, smashing plates.

-Smashing plates.

All right, so, we've had, "throwing chairs,"

we've had, "smashing plates."

One, two, three, four...

So, can you now try to fit some of the ideas you came up with

into that tune?

Now it's your turn again.

You can use this next section to try out your own lyrics.

You'll need for lots of three notes.

NOTES PLAY

In this clip we are going to explore singing in two parts.

We're going to learn the middle part of the song Remember,

which happens near the end of the show.

Now, can you arrange yourselves in two groups as well?

So, those of you that are going to be singing part one

will sing with those in the yellow hats

and your lyrics will come up on the screen in yellow.

Those of you that are going to be singing the second group,

you'll be singing with those in green hats

and your lyrics will come up on the screen in green.

So, first of all, we're going to try a two-part harmony.

Now, first of all, the first part, so, the yellow hat people,

you're going to sing this line.

And the words are...

Can you sing along with that?

Great! Now, we sing that four times round. So, let's try that.

So, one, two, three and...

Now it's the turn of the first group to have a go.

One, two, three, and -

The second part, now this is a little line that comes in

just off the end of that, so it goes -

SHE PLAYS INDIVIDUAL NOTES ON PIANO

And the words are -

So can you try that, green hat people?

So we'll go one, two, three -

Can you try that with us? So one, two, three -

Good, and again we'll do that four times. So one, two, three -

Now it's the second group's turn. Try that second line on your own.

One, two, three, four and -

One, two, three, four and -

One, two, three, four and -

One, two, three, four and -

Now let's try putting those two parts together so first of all,

the first part's going to go -

# We will be there with you. #

And the second part will then come in with...

# If you just remember. #

Shall we try that all together?

One, two, three, and -

Again!

Now you can practise those two lines together. One, two, three, and -

In this clip we're going to carry on exploring singing in two parts.

Working on another section of the song, Remember.

OK we're going to move on to our second section after this now.

Now, this is still in two parts so first of all, the first part goes -

So it's four lines, just the word "remember".

So you come in after I give you one beat down,

so I'll go one - # Remember. #

Three, four, one -

First line singers. It's your turn.

One, two, three, and one -

Good, well done.

Now the second group, your word "remember" gets split up like this.

SHE PLAYS STARTING NOTE ON PIANO

Can you try that with me?

Here's your starting note.

SHE PLAYS STARTING NOTE

Three, four, one -

Second line singers now. It's your turn.

One, two, three and one -

Well done. Let's try it all together,

So, the first group and the second group together.

So, first group. Here's your note.

SHE PLAYS NOTE

-Second group. Here's your note.

-SHE PLAYS NOTE

Let's try it all together.

Remember, you're coming in after I give you a strong downbeat.

Three, four, one.

Now it's your turn. Both groups, this time.

One, two, three, and...

One.

In the musical, our angry people make junk into musical instruments.

You can make your own junk instruments

from anything that sounds good when you bang or shake it.

Jake plays the rhythm on the drum,

and the rest of the group copy him.

Join in, if you like.

Our musical's got a number of different types of character in it.

You can explore some of these now.

Are they shy? Kind? Sad? Cruel?

Happy? Angry? Bully?

Lonely? Helpful?

How would you describe

the different character types in the musical?

# Ah, such a mouse! Come on, you girl

# Come on, stand up for yourself! #

# When you sing together

# Your loneliness will end. #

# I would watch out Look behind you

# I would watch out Look behind you. #

# Throwing chairs Breaking plates.

# Smashing glass Full of hate. #

Here, our performers are working on character types.

In this case, they're posing as cruel character types.

And then, shy character types.

And now you can see how they go from one character type to another.

Bully to happy character type.

In their bully pose, they're getting ready to very slowly

move to their happy character type.

Very slowly.

Very slowly.

And slowly back to being bullies.

Now, you can experiment with character types.

Try and find a pose for each calendar card.

First, for bully.

Now try and find a pose for a happy character type.

And now, back to bully.

Now try and find a helpful character pose.

And now, lonely. How would you pose, to be a lonely character?

Now, from lonely, get ready to move back into your helpful pose.

Doing exercises like this

will help you make your characters more believable for your audience.
