The Art of Acoustic Songwriting

In this two-session course, join a relaxed, welcoming and honest space to learn: (a) how to stop finding inspiration and start beguiling it, (b) how to turn yourself into a lightning rod to convert feelings, emotions, experiences and ideas into beautiful songs, and (c) how to create a content management system to take your ideas from conception to execution.

MATERIALS: An acoustic instrument like a guitar, mandolin, yuke, banjo; and a notebook or journal for lyric, melody, theme and song ideas.

EXPERIENCE: We require at least three years of playing, singing and/or songwriting experience.
