Never written a song before? Brimming with ideas that are all dressed up and no place to go? Let's roll up our sleeves together and start at the beginning. This all-levels class is for everyone, no matter your level of experience as we brainstorm our individual themes and ideas, explore lyrics, music, and other elements that contribute to creating something meaningful and melodic through individual and group exercises, discussion, and robust experimentation! On Wednesday we’ll devote one period (maybe a little bit more) to co-writing a custom song from beginning to end for a sick child and his/her family for the Songs of Love Foundation in New York. I’ve been writing these songs for 20 years now, and this is a great way to experience the whole process AND provide a family under stress with a unique and magical musical gift. Bring a willing spirit and a sense of humor.
