Music for Seniors Songwriting Workshop with Connye Florance

Story, Rhythm and Rhyme: A Songwriting Workshop

Join us at Senior Renaissance Center at Cohn Learning Center on November 10th!

Get ready to jump into the music of language and spark your creativity!

In this engaging, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the essentials of songwriting—story, structure, rhythm, and rhyme—while discovering just how many songs and stories you already carry inside you. Let’s bring them to life together.

Materials:

• Paper and pencil (provided)

• A voice recorder—your phone works perfectly—or a tablet/laptop (optional)

• A playful, ready-to-try spirit

Come connect with new friends (or old ones!) as you explore how to turn your own stories, life moments, and wild ideas into songs that sing.

We’ll Meet and Greet each other then dive into storytelling to find subject matter and story for songs. Then we’ll learn:

· Art of Song – Structure and rhyme

· Art of Story - Keeping it short and sweet

· Art of Rhythm – Finding the feel
