Writing a song is one of the most profound ways to express oneself, and among the most challenging. Songwriters do well to know something of music, something of poetry, and how to channel their deepest sentiments. If they perform, there is also the aspect of singing and accompanying themselves on (most often) a guitar.
That’s a lot, and to grow artistically in this field it’s very helpful to have a supportive community of songsters. Open mics can be great but our Songwriter’s Circle goes further in offering expert instruction as well as providing a sounding board of fellow fledgling writers.
Participants are encouraged to bring in material (whole or incomplete) and share them with the class for discussion and suggestions. The teacher will have a weekly lesson as well, on music theory, song structure, versification, the creative process, etc. Specific assignments will also be given from time to time. The drop-in format allows participants, both veteran and novice, to enter in on any week. Pull up a chair and join our Circle; you will learn things about the art form and yourself you may never have imagined.
Note: Classes with low enrollment will be cancelled two days in advance. Be sure to sign up for your favorite classes before then to reserve your spot!
Please note with this purchase you will receive a full 3-month membership which entitles you to scheduling as many available dates as you'd like for your selected course, including access to online classes.
