Songwriting for Vocalists
Songwriting for Vocalists—Kirk Nurock. This course is intended to help vocalists
develop the craft of songwriting (melody, lyrics, harmony, song form). The classroom approach will include exercises
to help develop that craft and individual guidance and assistance from the
instructor to help vocalists develop their own songs. This class will be open to vocalists only,
and they must have completed Theory 1B and Piano 1B (or be tested at level 2 or
higher on piano). While vocalists will
be actively engaged in rehearsing and singing their songs as they develop them,
this course is not a performance ensemble.
Emphasis will be on the analysis and development of songs rather than on
their performance. This class is open
to vocalists only. 2 credits R 3-5
