Class Description
Take your musical skills to the next level with Songwriting & Composition! In this course, students who already play an instrument- ideally piano or guitar- will dive into the art of creating original music. They’ll explore simple song structures, learn how to write chord progressions, and craft melodies that fit seamlessly with their harmonies. Along the way, students will analyze songs from different genres to see what makes them work. If equipment is available, students will also experiment with digital arranging tools like GarageBand or similar apps, layering instruments such as drums, bass, and keyboards to create full-band arrangements. By the end of the course, each student will have the tools, techniques, and confidence to write and share their own original songs. Please note: Students should already be competent on an instrument (preferably piano or guitar). Access to computers or iPads with GarageBand or a similar app is recommended. A materials fee will be included.
