MUS 228 - Song Writing II

Building upon the skills acquired in Songwriting I, this class will analyze works by the masters of songwriting, and using these existing works as a guide, new compositions will be written in a variety of styles. An additional primary concentration of the course will be on notating, arranging, recording, and performing the original work of each class member. As also stated in Songwriting I, the end goal of the study and exploration of songwriting is to provide a vehicle for individual expression.
