1 hour per week. Students will be asked weekly to complete: - One set of focus questions - One page in their inspiration journal (this assignment will be kept private and not shared with class)Assessment
If requested by the parent, I will provide an informal assessment of their child's performance.Class Experience
In this 4-week songwriting course, we will go over the elements of creating a song. Students will be led through a series of lessons, activities, and games that will help them understand how lyrics, harmony, melody, and rhythm come together to create impactful songs. Students will learn how to use AI tools to create their own background music, or how to use recording devices to create their own backing tracks if they play an instrument.
Learning Goals
Students will leave the class with an understanding of harmony, melody, and lyric, and students who complete all the assignments will end up with their own original song.Syllabus
