Course Description:
This virtual course is designed for musicians of any level who desire to build or improve their songwriting abilities. Each class will consist of writing exercises, question prompts, group sharing time, feedback, guidance, and follow-up assignments for the following week. You’ll be tasked with writing a song each week based on the previous class’s topics, and you’ll have the opportunity to share that song and the process of writing it in class. The goal of this course is to empower you as a songwriter with real experience in creating, writing, and sharing your own original tunes.
In this course, you’ll have the opportunity to:
Write your own songs
Explore your unique perspective and voice
Identify and connect to sources of inspiration
Develop personal discipline with your creativity
Share your creative process with others
Build confidence and trust in yourself and in the creative process
My own perspectives on songwriting and the creative process…
Creative space as ritual space
Authentic self-expression as an inherent human desire
The creative act being equal combination technique as it is trusting our instincts, our intuition, our subconscious mind, and the weird, mysterious, goofy, unique ways that inspiration shows up for us; our relationship to our own voice, our mind, our body, our sense of capability, and our instinctual nature directly influences how we approach our work
Group accountability and artistic camaraderie can help us move through own personal stuck places and blockages around self-expression
Our own genuine perspective and artistic niche develops as we begin to trust the information, imagery, and inspiration that we receive
