Songwriting Workshop & Masterclass
March 21, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm CET
Kr80 – Kr200Weekly Songwriting Workshop & Masterclass
Join us for a 3-hour weekly songwriting workshop that combines relevant writing exercises with lively discussions in a masterclass format. Bring one of your completed songs – playable on a guitar or via recording. If you can’t play it yourself, please bring someone who can. (The piano is not available this Tuesday but a guitar will be!) Song links and lyrics can be emailed ahead of time. We will probably have time for 1-3 participants’ songs. If you don’t have a song to bring, just listen and participate in other aspects of the experience. Participating as an observer can be as beneficial as bringing your own song.
During this workshop, we will:
- engage in at least 1 group writing exercise
- walk through a brief presentation of at least one professional writing technique
- listen to, and talk about 1-3 participants’ songs
- shed light on some techniques being used well in participants’ songs
- shed light on techniques that could help improve participants’ songs
- become more conscious of the types of choices we have as songwriters
