Learning Experiences for Adults and Teens at EMP|SFM

Classes & Workshops at EMP|SFM are evening sessions for adults and teens 16 and older. The classes are taught by working professionals in their field and offer hands-on training and an insider's glimpse into the performance experience.
Singer-Songwriter Studio
Have you always wanted to learn how to write a song, but didn't know where to start? Or perhaps you have a song that you've been working on for ages, but haven't been able to get it just right? Please join Carrie Akre (singer for Hammerbox/Goodness) in a class where you will learn to write and perform your own songs in a supportive, creative environment. This class is open to all levels. No previous songwriting/notation experience is required. We will focus on the standard Verse/Chorus/Bridge song form and using techniques such as imagery, metaphor, rhyme and alliteration. Students should be prepared to do some singing.

Classes start February 24 and are offered Wednesdays from 6:00 - 7:30 pm for six weeks.
$135.00, members; $160.00, general public
Instructor: Carrie Akre
