Songwriting Workshop with Bernice Lewis
Join us for a day long songwriting workshop with Bernice Lewis. Musicians of all levels are welcome to attend.
Registration is required.
A suggested $20 donation is encouraged.
We’ll spend the morning talking about what songs consist of, how structure evolved and why structure works, and how to use it. Please bring a notebook or journal, writing utensil, and your favorite instrument. We’ll work with a prompt to begin a new song.
