Join this fun and engaging songwriting class where each learner will write their own song, possibly many songs. Parents will see their budding musician become a composer within these 4 weeks! Each learner will be able to decide whether he/she wants to write more songs or extend their project by drawing a picture to portray their song. Each week, I will present my prerecorded videos. Learners will be continually composing a song if not, many songs throughout the 4 weeks with at least one finished project with music notation. It is up to the learner whether they would like words to accompany their composition. Learners are given the opportunity to include artwork that goes with their song if they choose. Some learners will want the whole package while for others, the music will speak for itself. Week 1: - Learn different structures of music by listening to music - Do lyrics or music come first? - Rhyming Game to help with lyrics - Start writing a song based on the learner's preferred way to write a song, lyrics, or music Week 2: - Review music structures - Start practicing drawing notes - Play with Rhythm - Continue composing Week 3: - Start practicing treble and bass clefs - Finish composing, and writing the song Week 4: - Finalize composition - Draw a picture to go along with the song written

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have written many songs, some with words, others without as well as taught years of songwriting classes for this age group. Many students I have taught in my music studio have entered their songs into contests for judging. Many students whom I taught at this age and are now adults have gone on to record their own songs.
