≈ SONGWRITING IN 3-D ≈

“A Song is a BOOKMARK in Someone Else’s Memory Bank” Songwriting is about COMMUNICATION. We communicate with each other on a VISUAL, EMOTIONAL and PSYCHOLOGICAL level. A great song should be a bridge between the writer’s visual images, feelings, and experiences and those of the listener. This workshop is a collection of fun, common sense talking points that will help you breathe life, depth, and realism into your lyrics, stories, characters, and melodies! Topics include: Rhymes & Reasons, Honey Words, The Title Test, Common Senses, Losers vs. Losing, The 3-Minute Movie, Writing The Holes, Don’t Say It - Show It, Building Word “Clustering” Charts & more!

≈ GROUP SONG CRITIQUES ≈

Bring a CD and lyric sheet and we’ll apply the workshop talking points to see how we can make a good song great and improve your overall writing skills.

≈ OPEN MIKE CONCERT ≈

All participants will get the opportunity to perform their songs on stage and network with other writers.
