Creative Songwriting Workshop with Sally Barris and Rebecca Folsom

Get inspired and unstuck in this fun, creative workshop all about songwriting. Participants can expect to learn new tools and skills such as: how to keep your song honest while still being accessible to a listening audience; the importance of structure; what goes in a chorus; what belongs in the verse; and how to write a strong hook. Youll also learn the importance of writing a good melody and new ways to come up with different rhythms.
