Carlsen+Project

Objective: My objective is to give a summary of some of Shakespeare's more popular plays, including, but not limited to, Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, and Romeo and Juliet. This will be done through song, and I will write the music and lyrics.

Presentation Format: The information will presented through one song per play, each about two minutes long, and possibly longer. They will be played on the piano as I sing.

Equipment Needed: I will need a piano.
