Learn how to create more honest, compelling songwriting. Journaling your feelings and writing lyrics that grab an audience.

Workshop Description: Song Camp 101 - Learn how to create more honest, compelling songwriting. Journaling your feelings and writing lyrics that grab an audience are very different processes. To write compelling lyrics, you have to combine them. To write a catchy song, you have to put compelling lyrics to a melody that the audience can&#x27;t get out of their head. I&#x27;ll offer prompts that help you be more honest in your writing, provide samples of my favorite songwriters, tips to make your writing stand out to an audience, and how to put them all together.
