This comprehensive program empowers the contemporary musician with a knowledge of the craft of songwriting encompassing the components of rhythm, harmony, melody, lyric, and form. The examination, arrangement, and application of contemporary musical repertoire and how successful songwriting techniques can positively affect the student’s creative work.

Open to all levels of music lovers – being able to read music may be helpful but is not required.
