Though open to all levels of experience, Songwriting 101 is geared towards those new to the craft. In this course, we’ll cover the basics of what makes a song a song, and begin to use those key components to pen some of our own. This course will focus primarily on lyrics and song structure; no instrument proficiency is required.

This class runs on Mondays, June 12 – July 24 (NO CLASS JULY 3), 10:00am – 11:00am

Ages 16 and up! (Can make exceptions for younger participants)
