Whether you write songs regularly, or you're just getting started, you will be challenged in some inspiring ways to write a new song every week in this, one of Beacon Music Factory's most popular classes.
Each week, we’ll meet for an hour (or more) and I’ll treat you to song examples to consider, song strctures to puzzle over, a few new ways of looking at songs you already know and lovel and then, most importantly, you will be given a multi-layered songwriting PROMPT or assignment.
The weekly PROMPT is chock full of rules to inspire you, parameters that will help focus your thinking and still more layers for you to consider. Past students tell us over and over how much they learn and how inspired they become by these assignments. It is exhilirating and satisfying when you are eager to dig in and begin writing rather than feeling daunted by a blank page. That's what this class is all about. Throughout the course I’ll provide extra pointers, some harmonic, some lyrical, some conceptual, to keep you going.
You will write a new song each week. I am pretty sure you will amaze yourself. Your songs will be shared in class each week, and we’ll have useful and substantial discussions about each student’s song; and then, of course, … you will receive a new song assignment.
Critically-acclaimed songwriter and owner of Beacon Music Factory, Stephen Clair has been teaching super successful songwriting classes like this to adults and kids for years—both in the classroom and online. Clair's very recent pandemic-inspired song “Welcome To The World Now” has been in rotation on WFUV 90.7FM in NY since April.
Our NYC Adult Boot Camps meet once-a-week for a significant number of weeks and culminate in a public performance. There are no makeups for missed classes. These classes are intimate by their nature, and you and your classmates (bandmates) have a responsibility to one another. In essence, you are a part of a team. As with any semester-long class, there is work to be done outside of class; and people sometimes have obligations that keep them from attending a particular class meeting, but we help one another along to get a shared end goal.
In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.
In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
