MUSC 1210 — Songwriting
This course will introduce and develop a variety of creative writing skills and tools specific to functional music writing, unity, and prosody. It will also offer exercise in common elements of lyric writing, short form composing, and exploration of creative practice in an encouraging environment. No previous songwriting or performing experience is necessary, though performing experience and/or playing an accompanying instrument (such as piano, guitar, ukulele, or digital audio workstation) would be advantageous for success. First-year music theory and/or ear training coursework would be advantageous to enrollees.
