Let Your Creativity Sparkle & Shine with Music & Songwriting
a 6-week laboratory of life-changing discoveries
Tuesdays 6:30-9:15pm
February 15 - March 22
Songs inspire us in many ways... to dance, to take action, to reflect, to smile, to cry, to feel enraged, joyful or transformed. Have you always wanted to express yourself in song? Are you a writer who would like to set your words to music? Or a musician who has always played other people's songs and now you'd like to write your own? You do not need to be a trained musician to learn songwriting! In this 6-week workshop we will create songs and learn about the art of songwriting!
We will explore and experience the fundamentals of music (vibration, rhythm, tone, melody, lyrics), how they apply to and mirror life circumstance, and how they can be expressed and experienced creatively. We will demystify songwriting and use it as a tool not only for enjoyment, but also as a means to access creativity and inspiration that can (and will) be applied to all areas of your life; from decision making to relationships, business to health.
We work creatively with these aspects to create song compositions. We’ll investigate the mysteries of inspiration while learning to define and make time for a daily creative practice. We’ll listen to and study a wide range of expressive possibilities as you begin to create and clarify your own unique style, language and process.
The small class setting is an extraordinary way to allow for individual attention.
You will learn:
• elements that constitute "a song"
• how rhythm, tone and melody affect us emotionally
• lyric structure and how to best merge lyrics with music
• how to craft a song that expresses you!
No prior musical or vocal experience is necessary. (Really!!)
