• Songwriting

Songwriters write songs in a setting where words come naturally, collaboration inspires, and music becomes possible. They are able to concentrate on music or lyrics, or create both, as well as discover the kinship between poetry and song. Analyzing the different parts of song and lyrical structure, is only part of the overall songwriting experience. Songwriters will they learn how to incorporate musical accompaniment and rhythm into their songs, in order to produce and arrange pieces for performance and multi-track recording. Songwriter's often find themselves collaborating with other songwriters with various levels of musical skill to create mind-blowing group performances, but are also encouraged to strike out on their own with a solo piece.
