CURRICULUM This is a program dedicated to the craft of songwriting.
Students are given new lyrical and musical tools in morning lectures
and are encouraged in the practical application of those tools through
songwriting assignments each afternoon. Our days are generally split
in two: The mornings are for the discussion of creativity,
inspiration, song structure, the elements of a song, lyrics, theory,
music business, etc. The afternoons are for in-class time to work on
songwriting assignments and for the exploration of music history. The
afternoon time spent on songwriting gives us the opportunity to work
one-on-one with students and to better meet individual needs. We also
use the afternoon for the presentation of and feedback on student’s
original songs. In the evening, students work on additional
collaborative projects, enjoy performances and Q+A sessions with local
Austin musicians, and are given additional time to work on their
individual songs. In the second week of the program, each student will
record one original song in a professional recording studio. Our time
together culminates in a public showcase where each student performs
an original song for their peers and family.
