This unique course offers an introduction to songwriting for pop music including basic song structure, common chord progressions, tools for developing lyrics and melodies, information about music royalties, and an overview of digital music distribution channels.

Participants work together as a writing team to create an original song guided by Amanda Kind. A demo for the song is then produced by Steve Lehmann. The idea is to be part of a songwriting team, so participants will not record the vocal for their song themselves; instead a vocalist from outside the group will be chosen to be the “artist” to record the demo of the song they’ve written. The final demo is shared on the KW Glee social media channels so participants have the opportunity to share their work publicly.
