For songwriters who want to explore the fundamental principles of songwriting.

This class will explore some of the universally shared songwriting techniques that span across genres within the topics of form, lyrics, rhyme scheme, melody, chord progressions, rhythm, and repetition.

By studying a wide variety of great songwriters throughout history as well as contemporary writers, we’ll analyze the commonalities in their songwriting through transcription and analysis and intentionally integrate these techniques into our own songwriting practice through focused exercises – all in service of getting us closer to developing our individual voice as songwriters.
