The Art of Songwriting

Want to know what it takes to write a song? Did you know that many of the biggest hits are based on similar chord progressions? Learn the step-by-step process of songwriting. You'll learn tricks of the trade from actual real-world songwriters. Each week, I bring in a different local songwriter who will share his/her unique approach to songwriting. Past songwriters include Steve Key and Nick Larson (Próxima Parada). You'll get a rare look behind the scenes to apply to writing your own songs. ~~On the last night, you'll be given the opportunity to perform your song for the rest of class.~~ Do you have an ear for the next big hit? You'll never know until you try!

10/07/19 - Susan Ritchie
10/14/19 - Craig Louis Dingman
10/21/19 - Nick Larson from Próxima Parada

Note: In addition to the registration fee, there is a honorarium of $10 per student which you will pay directly to each guest songwriter.

PS: There's no need to bring your instrument to class, but if you have something you'd like to share, you have the opportunity to receive a critique from the songwriter.
