We all have songs which have stayed with us our whole lives – which give us special feelings. This course will start you on the journey of using words to create those memorable feelings, and introduce you to the techniques songwriters have used in popular music over the last century. We’ll cover the fundamentals in the first class, and you’ll have a homework assignment, which will be discussed in the second session. You’ll leave this course with a completed new lyric to a familiar melody.
