SONGWRITING

Intro: In the first four workshops, you’ll learn:

• The basics of popular song forms
• Tools to generate unique ideas (and avoid clichés)
• How to bust “writer’s block” (good for any creative path, not just songwriting!)
• The craft of creating compelling lyrics from personal life experiences
• Tools to help you say what you mean and mean what you say.
• How to uncover and nurture your natural creativity.
• And so much more!
Participants will be encouraged to complete at least one song over the five weeks.
