Music Theory for Songwriters
What are the tricks that songwriters use to get that unexpected chord change that catches your ear every time? Bring your songs and your instruments and we'll break down some of the basics and get to some of the more complex ideas that take a beautiful song and make it brilliant. In this class you'll learn how understanding theory helps recognize conventions (and places where people adeptly stray from them). We'll pick apart our favorite songs, we'll look at some scales, and we'll practice on instruments we feel comfortable with (voice is fine too!). Beginners and folks who just want to practice training their ears are welcome.
