An Introduction to Songwriting

It’s commonly thought that we each have unique soundtracks to our lives. Here’s a chance to take authority and authorship of your own musical, biographical soundtrack. We will discuss a wide variety of songwriting tools and genres including song form, chord progressions, and melodic ideas ranging in styles. These ideas can be applied to any instrument or voice. We will also practice a bit of basic recording using free programs in order to record demos. Please bring any portable primary instrument with you to class.
