The Muse, Your Dues, and The Fuse: Songwriting

Sometimes we find our muse simply through the disciplined practice of art.

In other words, we fake it till we make it.
By paying our dues- practicing our skills, looking for the light in the work of others, using prompts, having conversations with other creatives, we find the threads we need to follow, to help us articulate our ideas.
These tried and true methods will be employed to help guide us to create a new song.

What you can expect to create: most students will complete 1 song, which they will share at the student concert on the last evening before leaving. Some may complete several songs, depending on the amount of time they put into their craft.
