Songwriting
By Matt Rankin, Soul'd Out Quartet - Saturday Only
Anyone with a kindergarten education can rhyme words. To be a song writer takes a life time of honing the skill that God has given you. In this song writing session we will take a look at lyrics of some great songs, learn tricks of the trade, as well as discuss the do’s and dont’s of song writing. Feel free to bring a song you’ve been working on to be examined. Be ready to have fun and hopefully become a better song writer.
