Songwriting is equal parts inspiration and craftmanship. In this class you will learn techniques and skills for developing ideas into songs. The class covers song structure, creating memorable melodies, how to find ideas that can be the basis for songs, and tips and tricks to not only start songs but finish them as well. The focus of the class to offer students concrete and actionable techniques to assist them in writing songs. The class is tailored to the students individual needs. Students do not need to know how to play an instrument nor do they need to be singers (although both are helpful).
