The Songwriting Challenge for the group for the March workshop is to bring the draft of a song, or just a verse or chorus. This can be the hook or title or maybe just a phrase in the song. See what you can do with this expression.
I look forward to some inspired results! Thanks! ~ John
About the group:
Front Range Songwriter’s Workshop is a monthly get-together (typically the 1st Wednesday of the month) of lyricists and songwriters with the mission of improving their craft. Meetings typically include a discussion of music industry trends followed by presentation of works in progress. Presenters should bring ten copies of lyrics and/or music for review while presenting their work. We can usually play MP3 via phone/device as well. This is a diverse and highly supportive group welcoming all styles and levels of craft.
Remember, if somebody would like to present their musical work at our meeting, they should bring ten copies of lyrics and/or music for review while presenting their work.
Here are some future dates to mark down: April 3rd, and May 1st. These are still on the first Wednesday of each month!
From John Nelson: Since workshop participation has grown, we’ve outgrown my office conference table. Our next workshop will be held at the Covenant Church, 4965 Barnes Road. This is at the SW corner of Barnes Rd. and Iron Horse Trail – one block East of Barnes Rd and Oro Blanco. We’ll be using the fireside room which is at the back of the building. The church sign at the Barnes Rd. entrance is being changed so no obvious landmark, but you’ll easily see the building. I look forward to seeing everyone on February 7th and this will be a much more comfortable setting. ~ Thanks, John
As usual, our meeting will “start” at 7:00 p.m. with some general instruction/discussion leading into friendly (but serious!) song critique sessions. Coffee/tea and cookies as always!
