Writing Workshops LA Seminar: Writing About Music

2-Day Seminar: Writing About Music (taught by Chris Daley in Los Feliz)

Two Saturdays, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
August 22, 2015 and August 29, 2015

For many of us, music is as powerful a force in our lives as breath or food. It permeates our days, making them richer with a personalized soundtrack. If you are a writer, you might find yourself creating characters who are musicians, pitching reviews of Kim Gordon’s memoir or the new Wolf Alice album, recalling the story of your first concert, or writing an essay about the complex relationship between Dolly Parton and third wave feminism. In this seminar, we will look at various models of music writing and students will write two original pieces: one short essay the first week and another piece for the following week—either fiction, journalism, memoir, or review.

This seminar is open to students of all levels. It will take place in the instructor’s home in Los Feliz, where coffee, sparkling water, and light snacks will be provided.

Enrollment limit: 8 students
$170 for new students; $150 for returning students
