Advanced Comedic Songwriting

Focus on improving existing material, creating new songs, and exploring technique. Musicians and lyricists will collaborate, revise and critique under the guidance of the instructor. Because a basic understanding of songwriting theory is assumed, students will work to put their knowledge into practice. This class provides a great opportunity for those with current theatrical songwriting projects to receive feedback and mentoring. Students leave the class with a portfolio of their work.

Performance: Class culminates with a staged reading of student songs performed by Training Center students and alumni.

$275, 8 weeks, 3 hours
