About this Event

In this workshop, students will learn how to take a single suggestion and turn it into a complete song.

We'll discuss the components of songs and the various structures that musical improvisers use, including the "tagline structure" and the "verse/chorus" structure.

We'll also discuss how to create more intricate and memorable melodies for your songs.

Great for all levels of experience!
