Are you a musician who has just started writing your own music? Do you sing along to songs on the radio and think, "I could do that!”  Have you written lyrics or melodies, but are stuck trying to come up with the rest?  Do you wish you could accompany yourself on piano as you sing?  Do you want to learn more about microphones, soundboards, and recording equipment?  Take your musicianship to the next level with this course full of tips, strategies, and sources of inspiration to help you craft your own sound!  Topics include choosing a subject and writing lyrics, creating original melodies/harmonies, adding chords for piano accompaniment, recording your pieces, and working with Steve in the PAC.  Students are encouraged to bring their own laptop and charger, but it isn’t required.  No previous experience necessary.
