Do you like music? Ever wanted to write music of your own? In this songwriting workshop you will be given tools to bring your song ideas to life and learn more about the songwriting craft. Taught by songwriter Taylor Miranda, and referencing her book “The Songwriting Breakdown”, you can learn how to generate ideas, how song structures works, and how to go about sharing your original music ideas. 

This will be a continuation of songwriting concepts taught in previous classes, but we are happy to bring any newcomers up to speed!
