The Joy of Song Writing

About

In The Joy of Songwriting, Vermont guitarist and songwriter Bob Wagner leads a 5 week workshop on the joys, the struggles and the rewards of songwriting with the aim of helping attendees complete two new original songs each. This workshop will focus on songwriting as a craft, a practice and a meditation, with each week analyzing both the lyrics, melodies and forms of popular music as well as the songs of attendees. Each week will focus on a new theme offering exercises, games and opportunities to share our progress. The workshop culminates in a Nashville-style songwriters “circle in the round” event at the Flynn Space on Friday October 10th (performance not mandatory). 

For ages 16 and up (exceptions can be made with parental consent and a discussion before signing up).

All levels of musical competency are welcome, beginner to advanced, however preference will be given to those with basic ability to accompany themselves on guitar or piano.
