Songwriting on Magnetic - Daily Schedule
10 am-12.30 pm   Songwriting with Jane
  • ​This class is highly effective for anyone wanting to write more and better words, regardless of their experience.
  • Using a variety of interactive, simple writing exercises, Jane will introduce you to new ways to add colour, texture and depth to your writing.
  • The two questions Jane is most frequently asked are "how do you come up with ideas for your lyrics?" and "how do you structure a song?". Both these questions will be answered in this class, which will guide you through creating words and crafting them into song structures.

12.30-4 .30 pm   Free time
