SONGWRITING SEMINAR - JAZZ and related styles Tuesday eves 7 – 9. April 22 – May 27
In a supportive and creative environment, this work evolves from the writings of our participants. We'll explore poetic imagery, rhyme schemes, title, plot, "marriage" and "strophe." We'll delve melodic contour, harmonic variety and rhythmic grooves. Works by the great songwriters will be analyzed and leadsheet notation will be taught. Periodically, participants will present their songs and – when requested – the group will share feedback as well.
