The “I want” song of your musical
The song where an original character says what they want with all their heart: the first step of a made-up musical.
Fill in the spaces and watch it change
In musicals, the “I want” song is the one a character sings near the beginning to tell us what they want most. Create one like that, in musical-theater style, about 3 minutes long, with piano and an orchestra that keeps building. The character is a witch’s apprentice with a power that scares everyone. What they want is to be let into the academy of magic in the capital. What stands in their way is that her magic only works when she gets angry, and nobody likes someone who gets angry. The song starts almost spoken and ends on a long held note. These are my lyrics: Verse: They tell me no, it’s not for me… / Chorus: Let me fly, just once, let me be…
4 fields are missing: they will be copied with the examples. The examples are fine to start with, but your own details are what make the piece yours.

- Write in one line what will happen in your musical after this song: the wish has to drive the whole story.
- Change the obstacle to something internal (a fear) or external (a rule) and compare which makes the better song.
- If the last note doesn’t land high enough, ask for the orchestra to go up a half step before the last chorus.
- C1: by the end you know what the character wants and what stands in the way.
- C2: the music grows with the emotion.
- C3: the character is original, not a copy from another work.
And at the end: did the prompt get better, or did the question?
