Upper School Intersession 2025

In this workshop, we will focus on the art and science of songwriting. We’ll delve into the craft of creating melodies that resonate and lyrics that linger. We’ll explore various song structures and learn how to mold them to suit your artistic vision. You’ll learn techniques to enhance your lyrical depth, experiment with harmonic progressions, and effectively employ rhythm to enhance emotional impact. We'll also cover the essentials of demo production, giving you the tools to bring your songs to life. Whether you’re a budding songwriter or looking to refine your skills, "Song Creator" will equip you with the knowledge to express your unique musical identity. Led by songwriter/producer/keyboardist/educator Max Cowan, this workshop is an invaluable resource for anyone eager to take their songwriting to the next level.

Non-musicians are encouraged to enroll in Max’s other session, “Song Decoder.”
