Find your voice as a musical performer at Pieces of Music: A Songwriting Workshop on Saturdays, Oct. 12 through Nov. 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. in The Studio.
The craft of songwriting is made up of creative writing, music theory, poetic practice and working with song fragments and forms. In this course, songwriter and passionate performer Paul Kotheimer will pass along his lifelong love of the writer’s craft, explore music theory with a contemporary focus and present a view of songwriting as an all-inclusive and hands-on human activity.
