Students in this set of learning experiences will be asked to explore the world of songwriting before creating an original piece of music.

Starting with the basic elements of a song and the process of songwriting, this course will walk students step-by-step through the various musical and technical skills and knowledge needed to create meaningful self-expression through music.
