Join the Songwriting Workshop in Rock Island
Songwriting Workshop! Sponsored by: River Action Art Along The River
The first song I wrote was called "Silent Nothings". I was 15 years old and it was awful. I had no idea how to edit, how to string a phrase together, or how to not sound like a 15 year old writing his first song.
It didn't have any music. Just a melody that was probably super repetitive and lyrics that were super needy with teenage heartache.
It also had 3 different parts. More like a suite. Being a big Guns n' Roses fan...November Rain, Estranged, Coma, Locomotive all led me to believe I should write a 10 minute long song.
I was wrong.
Obviously I could've used a songwriting workshop back in 1992 so I'm glad to see others will have a chance to get started on the right foot no matter what their age.
It's happening this Sunday, May 23rd at 2 PM Schwiebert Riverfront Park Bandshell. There are still spots open! The event is $10 or free to River Action members.
David will be presenting a songwriting workshop called "Writing YOUR Song". This 2 hour course is designed for all writers at all levels.
