This class will explore the nuts and bolts of a song: lyrics, structure, and form. We will listen to lots of music to become comfortable with the similarities and differences in contemporary music, then proceed to make our own music. With exercises like "10 minute songwriting," you will discover everyone can write a song!

You do not need prior musical experience to take this class.
