Jumpstart your creativity. Take your music to the next level!
10 Hour Weekend Workshops (Sat. & Sun.)
Level 1: November 1st-2nd
Level 2: December 5th-6th
Join us for two exciting days exploring the Theory and Practice of writing music. The Level 1 session is for complete beginners and intermediate songwriters with some experience. Saturday is two 3 hour sessions with a 1 hour break and Sunday is two 2 hour sessions with a 1 hour break, totalling 10 hours for the weekend.
On the first day we will cover I-IV-V progressions, Major and Minor Keys, Inversions, Sevenths, and Arranging. You will get to see, hear, interact, and learn about songwriting in a holistic and fun way! On the second day you will compose your own chord progressions and melodies with tried and true methods that have been used by musicians for generations. Learn about voice leading, and hear it bring your music to life! Optional, but encouraged: bring in your own music to the "songwriters lab" for help with developing your sound.
