Class Experience

Songwriting is its own unique art form. Students will learn song structure and various techniques to create unique songs. We will begin with a warm-up and/or a writing exercise. Then, we will learn a specific technique each week to create part of a song related to that technique. At the end of class, we will present our work, and if time allows, add instrumental and melody. Students will be given feedback on their work throughout the class. Students are encouraged to polish their song throughout the week and submit it in the classroom for additional feedback. There are no prerequisites for this course.

The basic structure for the course will be:
Warm-up
Lecture
Songwriting Practice Together
Songwriting by ourselves
