This course is open to those who have previous songwriting experience or have taken Songwriting 101. In addition to continued practice, workshop, and conversation around lyric writing, we’ll also begin to cover some foundational musical elements. Using basic theory and a few compositional tools, we’ll begin to see lyrics change from words into song.

This course runs on Mondays, June 12 – July 24 (NO CLASS JULY 3), 11:15am – 12:15pm
