Whoever first claimed “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts” may have just co-written a song. When you write with others, the alchemy of ideas, emotions, experiences, skills, and styles yields songs that would not have been written in solitude. This hands-on class will teach you the artistry and business of co-writing and guide you through exercises, demonstrations, and practical assignments to create and revise finished co-written songs.

NOW AVAILABLE SPRING 2010:  BEGINS 5/6/10! SEE REGISTRATION INFORMATION BELOW.

This program is especially for me if I. . .

• have always wanted to co-write but have never tried before
• would like a safe, professional setting in which to work with a number of different writers
• feel confident in my own writing and want an opportunity to grow and improve
• am feeling stuck in my own work and could use a jump-start of creativity
• have been hoping to network and collaborate but have not found like-minded people
• want a positive, respectful, and  constructive arena to find potential collaborators
• realize that many of my favorite songs were written not by a single writer but by co-writing teams, and now I want to become part of a productive, successful creative tandem
