New
to songwriting? Always wanted to try it out but didn't know where to
start? Experienced at the art form but in a creative rut? This class
series addresses all of these needs. We'll discuss lyric writing, melody
writing, song concepts, song components and their function and much
more. The focus is on making you a better songwriter and, at the same
time, instilling an appreciation of the art form. The teaching style is
one of coaching rather than criticizing, and the emphasis is on the work
of the participants and not on the lecturing of the teacher. The
participants take an active role in helping each other creating a sense
of community. For those interested in performing, the class will
culminate in a performance on stage at the Freight & Salvage! (Minimum class size four students)
