ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Bring Your Song to Life Master Class is a powerful two day long deep dive into creativity. Beth will talk about the magic of creative flow, how to find it, feel it, and harness its power in your songwriting. From there, we change hats moving into the analytical realm to identify and establish what’s working and what’s not and what could be better, etc.
Step three is shifting gears again, going back to the place of play and exploration in the flow, refilling those spaces you cleared with more of the good stuff so that the final song will be inspired as well as airtight.
You will come away with clarity and new tools in your toolkit for every aspect of the writing process from the first blush to the final tweak.
Beth will use the critiquing of your songs in the class to illustrate how to make every song come alive and be as great as it can be. Learn the four essential questions to ask every song before you roll them out into the world.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
