Songwriting
August 4 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm Eastern
This four-week class meets on Tuesdays, August 4, 11, 18, and 25.
Explore the fundamentals of songwriting while developing your own original material in a supportive and collaborative environment. Through guided exercises, group discussion, and homework between sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen existing ideas or begin new songs from scratch.
We’ll focus on elements such as lyric writing, form, melody, and creative process, with space for individualized feedback and artistic growth throughout the series. No prior songwriting experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and excitement!
