Using exercises that focus on both lyrics and musicianship, this songwriting workshop will focus on how to keep your creative process moving. How can chord changes influence writing a bridge? How can the structure of the song influence how the story is told? Students can expect group activities and one on one time with instructors. We'll start at 10, take a 30 minute break for lunch, and finish up at 4PM. Students should be writing songs or very curious about starting. Bring your guitars. If you play a different instrument, you may need to bring amplification, such as a keyboard amp.
