Please join the UNM Songwriting 1 class for an afternoon of original songs, written this semester, in UNM's beautiful keller hall, 2-3 pm

Course Description
This class explores building blocks for expanding skill sets to writing your own songs. Intended for
intermediate songwriters, song form, chord progressions, music genre, lyrics, performance skills and
establishing good writing habits will all be addressed. Students will complete weekly, incremental songwriting
assignments and record and perform what they have written each week for the class; students will also
perform in at least one public concert. The course focuses on collaborative songwriting (“co-writing”) and
writing and sharing songs in a broader community context beyond the class. Collaborative writing and
community building is a central tenet of the course.
