Tuesday Afternoon Section Just Added by demand! : This inspiring 10-week songwriting program forms the foundation for song study at The Songwriting School of Los Angeles.
Level 1 starts Saturday 1/28/12, 10:30am : Logic Pro 9 is a songwriter’s dream! More than any other software recording application, Logic Pro 9 comes complete with everything you need to write, arrange, and mix to achieve a great song production in any genre.
Starts 2/13/12 : Learn the fundamentals of Music Theory--melody, harmony, & rhythm--and how to recognize them by ear. Learn why music affects you the way it does--then learn how to affect the rest of us with your songs.
Starts 2/15/12 : This class covers all the skills you'll need to record a song in Pro Tools: to take your projects from the idea stage through arranging and tracking to the completion of a finished mix.
New Start Date, 2/16/12! : Work with the Grammy winning Songwriter Tim Fagan (“Lucky” Jason Mraz/Colbie Caillat) and hunt down more of those moments that give you and your audience goosebumps. You'll be challenged each week with in- and out-of-class exercises and song assignments grooved to get you writing catchier music than you ever have before precisely by mining what makes your heroes' music amazing and coming to own your influences and individuality. Understand copyright law and how to use your influences legitimately to create songs alongside your heroes.
When: 6 Thursday nights, starting 2/9/12 (6 weeks)
Tuition: $350
In this six-week class, Blu2th will mix presentation, demonstration, an examination of hit songs, his songs, and some of your songs, along with exercises to develop an enhanced skillset to take you to the next level in your path as a songwriter.
Saturdays, Ongoing : SONGMAKERS is a class exclusively for graduates of THE ROOTS songwriting program. The class strikes a vital balance between providing an ongoing curriculum of growth for the writers and weekly workshopping opportunities to gain feedback on songs and songs-in-progress.
Have you owned a guitar for years but have only a passing acquaintance with it? Maybe you learned a few chords but never went forward? Or perhaps you have just started to teach yourself and would like the guidance of a gifted teacher and the encouragement and inspiration of a group setting.
Wednesdays, 8pm, Ongoing : The Songwriter's Workshop affords that rare opportunity of personal and intellectual enrichment, concrete feedback, and genuine community. This ongoing class is designed to inspire, facilitate, and enhance the creation, evaluation, and revision of quality songs.
