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. For those interested in composition, please see the course “Adult Music Theory/Composition 1: Foundations”.

This class runs on Mondays, June 20 – July 18 (NO CLASS JULY 4), 10:00am – 11:00am
