Private Songwriting

Catalog description

Private study is offered in songwriting. The work is adapted to the needs of the individual student. Lessons will cover topics such as lyrical storytelling, rhyme schemes, melodic phrasing, modulation techniques, and basic arrangement strategies. Courses in applied music are required of all music majors and may be elected with permission of the instructor by students not majoring in music. Credit for non-majors is limited to one semester hour. It is the Department of Music policy that non-majors enrolled in private lessons are expected to enroll in an appropriate ensemble. For more information on these matters, please consult the UNCP Department of Music Handbook.
