Hello SONGERS and Aspiring Songwriters,

It doesn't matter what time zone you're in, take this class. Here, among your generous peers is where you want to be writing and sharing your newest songs.

Whether you write songs regularly, or you're just getting started, you will be challenged in some inspiring ways to write a new song every week in this, one of  Beacon Music Factory's most celebrated classes. 

10 Mondays in Spring
April 8 - June 10
7:30pm to 9-or-later pm
$325

HOW IT WORKS
Each week, we’ll meet for an hour (or more) and you'll be treated to inspiring song examples to consider, song structures to puzzle over, a few new ways of looking at songs you already know and love and then, most importantly, you will be given a multi-layered songwriting assignment.

The weekly PROMPT is chock full of rules to inspire you, parameters that will help focus your thinking and still more layers for you to unpeel.  Past students tell us over and over how much they learn and how inspired they become by these assignments.  It is exhilirating and satisfying when you are eager to dig in and begin writing rather than feeling daunted by a blank page.  That's what this class is all about.  Throughout the course I’ll provide extra pointers, some harmonic, some lyrical, some conceptual, to keep you going. 

I am pretty sure you will amaze yourself with what you are able to conjure on a weekly basis.  Your songs will be shared in class each week, and we’ll have substantial discussions about each student’s song; and then, of course, … you will receive a new song assignment.

We will meet over Zoom.  I will send full details when we get closer to the start date.

I look forward to seeing you write a bunch of new songs, as you find your way writing sometimes far outside your usual comfort zone. 

If you have any questions, please get in touch,
