Crash Course: Rap for Beginners

Feb 21, 2026, 2:00pm - 5:00pm | Theatre Pool, Berlin

Event Illustration

Want to learn how to rap but don’t know where to start?

In this 3-hour crash course, you’ll dive straight into the essentials of rap: rhyming, flow, and freestyle, all in a simple, playful, and supportive environment. No experience needed! All you need is a willingness to play, use your voice, and have fun.

This Crash Course is for anyone who wants to sound confident on a microphone and express themselves to a beat in a safe and encouraging way.

You'll be learning by doing. You’ll experiment with attitude, punchlines, rhythm, and storytelling while collaborating with other participants and rocking out to some phat ass beats.

Strap in, come along, and get the tools to create raps on the spot and enter the flow!

You'll learn how to:

  • Tell your story to a beat
  • Set up and deliver punchlines
  • Write a simple rap verse
  • Support other rappers with adlibs
  • Play with character, emotion, and attitude

Requirements:

  • A voice (Yes, you!)
  • Curiosity and willingness to play
  • Strong level of English
  • No musical background needed

What to bring:

  • Comfortable clothes
  • Water
  • Pen and paper
