Have you always wanted to write songs but were too intimated? Or, are you a professional songwriter longing for accountability and feedback?
Like the Greek Goddess Athena who was born fully formed from her father Zeus’ head, there is a myth that songs come to us in a moment of inspiration. While it’s true that some songs make a magical appearance, for the most part there is a craft to songwriting that few people know about, discuss or even understand.
How do we know if an idea is solid enough to inspire a song? What’s the difference between a ballad and a 3 minute pop song? What are our choices when it comes to rhyming schemes and how do we maintain a flow when scanning lyrics to melody? How do we write a thrilling pre-chorus and what makes a song have an impact?
Art is usually not created in a void. We need others for inspiration, tool ideas and feedback. In this one time workshop, we will learn a new skill, share what we are working on, and gain valuable feedback. Think of this class as part tool building and part market research. See how others respond to your songs to see if you are getting your message across effectively and powerfully.
I teach from a place of positivity, generosity and inspiration. Expect passion, connection and fun!
