Are You a Songwriter? 🎶
| Singer and songwriter Bernice Lewis will be joining us Saturday, October 11th at 10:30 a.m. to talk about the structure of songs, and why it works.
She deconstructs several well-known songs as well as her own work, analyzing components, story line, use of poetic devices, chord structure, melody, and talks about how contemporary song has evolved historically. Bernice will be including information for musicians, non-musicians, and would-be songwriters.
