A special fundraiser workshop with a suggested donation of $25.00

One hour Zoom workshop will be spent  discussing some of the basic techniques used in the art and craft of songwriting. Lyrics and  song structures will be a jumping off point,  from which we will visit chord progressions,  melody, and other aspects of music theory  which can help make any writing become lyrics,  thereby becoming songs.
