Virtual Songwriting Camp at So i Heard Music!
So i Heard virtual songwriting camps are week-long 9 am to 12 pm virtual Zoom experiences that will take students on an exciting journey starting with the basics of songwriting and progress through concepts such as arranging, harmonization, and beat making. In addition, students will collaborate and grow together on their songwriting journey, and ultimately, each camp group will write and record a song from scratch that will be streamed on our social media channels at the end of the week!
Classes are Monday-Friday from 9 am to 12 pm on Zoom. Any experience level is welcome. Age is recommended to be 8 and above since younger kids may have a tough time staying engaged online for that amount of time.
Topics covered include:
- Critical Listening and Analyzation
- Writing chord progressions
- Writing Melodies and Harmonies
- Lyric Writing
- Composing Drum Beats
- Arranging and Instrumentation
- Music Production (using soundsnap.com, a free browser-based production software)
- Collaboration and Co-writing
