Workshop Songwriting with Intention (6-12) We will use a concept called “song prompts” to aid in writing a song. What do you want to write about? What do you want the listener to feel or get out of the song? Total Fee: $400/ $700 Assembly Performance Guidelines and Practices for Musical Performance (K-12) In this assembly, I will perform several of my original songs. After each song I will go over general practices to make stage performing easier, more efficient, less stressful, and more enjoyable for all. This includes preparation, sound staging/checking, stage movement, performing with others, and reading the room. Total Fee: $600/ $900 Residency Writing your official SENIOR CLASS SONG (9-12) This three day program has a clear and attainable goal: to compose a senior class song for the class of 2023! Any ideas that the students come up with on their own maybe use in their own songwriting. I will record the completed song along with a lyric and chord sheet. All students involved will receive equal songwriting credit (names listed as “written by”). The school will own rights to the sound recording. Total Fee: $2500 Workshop The Songwriting Session (6-12) Our goal for this workshop will be to write a chorus/main theme and an outline for a song. Students may work on their own, or in collaborations of up to 3 people. This would be determined before the session to save time.
