This songwriting class will focus on a few key factors in songwriting; tricks to find inspiration and how to be your own best critic/editor! Each day will start with an exercise to help get your imagination flowing. These assignments also help with finding an inspiring idea to write about. They are usually only 10 minutes long but so much happens in those important minutes. The rest of the work day will consist of how the process of constructing a song works and how to be able to look more critically at your composition once it’s complete.

There will be lots of one on one help throughout the week long class which leaves plenty of opportunity to ask questions and hopefully get you to the next level in your songwriting. Class Size Limited to 15
