# The Art Of Songwriting

## ARTS-2030

This course examines the wide variety of elements present in the creation of a successfully written song, while honing a higher sense of critique when analyzing the work of songwriters, both successful and obscure. Song recordings, videos, and lively class discussion frame an examination of multiple creative techniques for this art form, and students are encouraged to experiment on a grand scale, without fear, when writing ten complete songs over the course of the semester.
