SONGWRITING for the SOUL

Become a masterful channel for the music of your Soul

8 Sessions (via ZOOM) - Next Dates TBD

* Do you long to write songs that you love, that seem to flow from your soul?

* Are you ready to expand and elevate your lyric & melody writing skills?

* Would you like to be part of a dedicated, supportive songwriting community?

Don't miss this unique opportunity to receive the kind of support you've been wishing for - at a super reasonable price! In this intimate and nurturing Zoom space (of no more than 12 people) - you will be guided and supported as you expand your songwriting skills and deepen your connection with the source of your creative inspiration.

Songwriting is both an art and a craft. You hear a phrase that sparkles. You catch a whisper of melody in the air. Your heart wants to dance with a song that is calling you to capture it in time and space. A song only your soul already knows. But to capture it, you must speak its language...and then translate its song into words and music. Without adequate skills for writing a compelling lyric or composing a memorable melody, the voice of the soul can remain unheard, unfelt.

And so, each must be nurtured. The art and the craft. This is the focus of Songwriting for the Soul.

Session Topics include:

writing compelling lyrics ~ composing catchy melodies & hooks ~ the power of a title ~ rhyme schemes ~ use of rhythm ~ composing melody to lyrics ~ writing lyrics & melody to a chord progression or beat ~ connecting with your source of inspiration ~ collaboration skills & etiquette ~ the psychology of songwriting ~ how to copyright your songs ~ & more

In this immersive 8-week experience you will get practiced at the simple songwriting 'rules' employed in every hit song - and - how to creatively break them! Working as one cohesive group as well as in breakout rooms, you'll learn by doing - and by witnessing others doing. Each week the focus will be on different elements of the songwriting process, exploring examples of each and then engaging in hands-on exercises to apply the ideas. The 2nd part of each class will be for giving and receiving feedback on your original songs or a work-in-progress. So you begin to instinctively understand what works or doesn't work, and where to go next with your ideas.

In just 2 months' time, you'll discover how much these simple & practical songwriting practices will enable you to write the kinds of songs your soul wants to sing!

There is a private Facebook group & a WhatsApp Group for connecting with others during & beyond the class - to share your experiences and progress, post videos of your songs, ask questions and give/receive support.

Class Dates: TBD (Email Deb to get on the Wait List)

Class limited to 12 people
