Please join us as we welcome back Berklee College of Music professor Pat Pattison for his sixth songwriting seminar for AMF!
This event is FREE to attend.
Stick around for a meet-n-greet/reception immediately following Pat's seminar! Light snacks and libations provided.
Pat's seminar in November will be a song critique session. Pat will select several songs from attendees and discuss how using elements such as point of view, structure, rhyming, symmetry, motion, contrast, and other tools can improve a song right before your eyes!
Attendees often tell us that the critique sessions are their favorite part of Pat's seminars. Not only does Pat demonstrate how applying simple tools and techniques can make a big difference in the power of a song, but they're just so darn interesting. It's almost as if you can see light bulbs going off over people's heads during Pat's presentation.
While some may believe that true creativity is spontaneous and inspired, Pat shows that even the most heaven-sent songs can benefit from a confident application of the songwriter's tools. Don't miss this opportunity to take your craft to the next level.
Pat Pattison is a professor at Berklee College of Music, where he teaches Lyric Writing and Poetry. In addition to his three books, Writing Better Lyrics, The Essential Guide to Lyric Form and Structure, and The Essential Guide to Rhyming, Pat has developed three online lyric-writing courses for Berklee's online school. He has written over 30 articles for Home & Studio Recording Magazine and The Performing Songwriter.
Pat continues to present songwriting clinics across the US, Canada, and the UK. Several of his students have won Grammys, including John Mayer and Gillian Welch.
