This 2-week class meets twice a week and will teach learners how to maximize imagination through songwriting. There will be some parts of a song and basic musical concept lessons, however, the main focus of this course is finding fun and joy in writing. I want learners to walk away feeling empowered to make their dreams and ideas into songs. Learners will learn how to use stream of consciousness and imagination exercises/prompts to do just that! Class 1 Learners will get to know each other better by building a song together Class 2 Learners will be guided through an imagination exercise, then turn what they imagined into a song. Class 3 Music concept basics; melody, rhythm, theme. Verses, Chorus, Bridge Class 4 Students will present their favorite song from the week and decide what to share with their families. Peers will share 3 things they like about each song.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Ina Williams is a Savannah College of Art and Design alumna, novelist, playwright, and songwriter. Ina has over fifteen years of experience teaching in after school, camp, and art school settings. Her classes on Outschool will include a variety of storytelling courses such as song, creative, and screen writing. She will also have class for the youngest learners in basic ballet.
Ina's goal as an instructor is to make sure students not only learn, but feel empowered by what they learn. Students should walk away from classes feeling they learned enough to go out and create on their own, or build on their knowledge base.
Ina's novel The House We Built is available online. Her 15 minute 3 act play The Thief was the first of the Role Call's Atlanta Micro Theater productions, and her work with creator Royce Bable on his one of a kind one-man show Not Here Right Now helped earn the piece its spot in the 2019 Hollywood Fringe Festival where she directed the show's 1-week run.
