Songwriting

Catalog description

This class will tackle song as a topic of study from the perspective of the listener and the maker. We will consider popular song, folk song, art song, and other styles, as well as styles that may be hard to categorize, taking a big picture look at the role of songs in our lives and also getting into the nitty gritty of how songs are created. Reflective and analytical work will be required of students, with the main focus being the creation of original songs.
