Chorus First
Music & rhythmStory
Before any song, the group builds the chorus: one short, repeatable line, drawn from what the character wants. The verses are built around it, and the chorus returns — unchanged. You learn that an improvised song is not a string of sung sentences, but a structure that comes back.
🎓 Tips
If the chorus does not fit into one line the audience can remember, it is too complicated. "I am not leaving this house" is enough to carry a whole song.
