Have you ever wanted to write a song, but didn't know how? Then this class is for you. Using a combination of listening to examples, and hands on work, we will learn the tools and techniques you need to write your song, such as setting words to music, time and pitch, working with melody, chords and chord progressions, song forms and structure, arranging your song. We will workshop the songs as we go, with feedback from all participants.
