Songwriting 101 (6 sessions)

Good songwriting combines skill, practice, tools and of course, courting the muse. We will dissect the elements of "perfect" songs, learn techniques for opening the creative channels and skills to write songs. The curriculum includes building a songwriter's vocabulary, writing devices, warm up and practice techniques, self-editing and using others as editors. We won't forget the music & melody! Lyric only writers are also encouraged to participate. Note: No Class 11/17.
