Students were asked to compose an original song in pairs, writing it down in a chord chart or lead sheet and completing a self-reflection. Songs were assessed based on several criteria, including how well-organized and musically balanced they were, whether they included relevant lyrics and an repeated hook, how clear the theme was, and how well they were performed for an audience.
