Prosody, the most important concept in great writing: All the elements of your song should work together to support the song’s central message and emotion. This special presentation is designed for songwriters of all skill levels and abilities.
This seminar will show you tools and techniques to make your song stronger and more focused, using structure and phrasing to highlight important ideas and deepen emotional impact. These techniques have helped Pat’s students, including John Mayer and Gillian Welch, win Grammys and write number-one songs.

Reception immediately following 9:00-10:00 pm
