The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

Chances are you once made a mixtape for someone special, carefully picking out each track to express everything you loved about them. Now imagine sharing those sentiments in a song that came straight from your heart instead of a Top 40 balladeer's. Join songwriter and musician David Morgan for a live virtual workshop where you’ll learn how to take your feelings and turn them into a real song for that loved one who makes your spirit sing.

  • David will guide you through the lyric-writing process, with a focus on your song’s emotional direction, style, and story.
  • You’ll discover the essentials of melody, chord progression, tempo, and lyrical rhythm as you learn how to set your words to music.
  • Finally, you’ll put it all together as David explains techniques for practicing your song and helps you decide how to share it—think live performance, video recording…or maybe even slipped into an old-school mixtape.

Class length: Two hours
