Course Eligibility: Open to lyricists and songwriters of all abilities. You are likely to get the most out of the class if you have already taken THE ROOTS, our foundational course for song study, but this is not a requirement.
Format for Online Class: Class will take place entirely online using Zoom video conferencing with real-time interactivity for class members with Mark. In addition, the video archives of class will be available at a private class site, along with full handouts. If you want in-class feedback on your homework, there will be submission guides and weekly deadlines. There will be opportunity for feedback outside of class as well. The archive of each week's class will be available "on-demand" 48-hrs after the real-time class so that students in any time zone or with any set of commitments might still participate in the class weekly. Previous online class members have been here in LA with impossible commutes, in Canada, the UK, South Africa, Australia, and elsewhere. And now that online is our only option, welcome to this vibrant creative community, wherever you are.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
School Notes: For new students, there will be a $35 one-time registration fee, payable in person at the start of the class.
