This seminar will give you important keys to phrasing your lyrics for the most impact and support of meaning. Working with rhythms and placements, you’ll learn how to make sure that the line, like body language, helps to really deliver the emotion you intend. This is another “can’t miss” seminar — it’s bound to take your writing to the next level.

  4. Death is inevitable. Poetry is hard. People come to this stuff wanting the keys to the car. But if you are stuck in your own emotions and insight, forget songwriting. Little kids make up melodies. But it takes reflection to write lyrics worth a dang.
