LYR 100 – Introduction to Lyricology Lesson 1: What Is Lyricology? Instructor: Perfect Mcsnup Institution: ReHearsal House Programme: First Level Recording Artistry Year: 2026 Welcome to LYR 100: Introduction to Lyricology. Firstly, LYR 100 is a preliminary course at ReHearsal House for students of lyricology, composition, and recording artistry. It is important to understand that for a recording artist, especially when considering the economic or business side of a music career, lyric knowledge is essential. Whether you have someone writing lyrics for you or you intend to write your own original lyrics, having a solid foundation in lyricology is very important. Lyricology is the study of lyrics. However, in our context, it does not only refer to finished lyrics. It also includes the study of lyric writing itself. In other words, how does one become a professional writer of song lyrics? Lyrics simply refer to the words of a song. A key question we ask in this course is whether lyric wr...

INTRODUCTION TO SIGHT-READING: Welcome to Tonight's Musicians Forum with Mcsnup, presented by ReHearsal House on the RH blog. Typical of our Friday Night Forums, this is intended to be a discussion— so, leave comments, read notes, ask questions, let's Thread Musicology! Tonight's Session is an Introduction to Sight-reading! For Vocal Students it will be called Introduction to Sight-singing. Now, essentially sight reading/singing suggests, to play or sing; by reading a score— mostly a score sheet! This is what sight-singing/sight-singing entails: singing a piece, from the score sheet. Of course this immediately requires us to answer the next question which should be on our minds already— what is a score sheet! ReHearsal House holds a principle of "the apt way to learn music is to be able to engage with it PRACTICALLY! So, we would describe a score sheet best by presenting one: Score sheet of Holy Holy Holy  Everyone of us at some point have most likely seen something li...

So, Welcome Again... And It's Perfect Mcsnup here! On Today's Weekend Night Forum, we look closely into the Language of Music in Practice; our Reference Instrument for tonight will be the Piano! So, we begin by looking at the Meaning of the Name of the Instrument— Piano— which actually is formally called: PIANOFORTE! The Italian name, Pianoforte is made up of two words— Piano and Forte— Piano Meaning Soft and Forte meaning Loud! Together the name implies: Soft then Loud! This idea of the name of the Instrument is an example of the Outworking of the Language of Music! Typically, a stand-out feature of good Piano Performance, is the soft-loud dynamicsm that is associated with playing the Instrument.

In the period between 1980 and 1982, before the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller, the Music Industry faced a decline, Record Sales declined by 50 million units; yes, there was economic recession— but was it not for such moments Music was meant? But, not even Music was working out! Pop music had become Stagnant and formulaic; Innovation— The Artistry of Sounds was almost gone, as listeners ears had become fatigued— hearing the same sound-idea over and over... Welcome to the Artistry of Sounds—The  new Friday Night Musical Forum (Thread) of ReHearsal House Nigeria, Tonight we welcome all our esteemed blog readers to the premiere of The Artistry of Sounds  Join the Forum, Read More...
