AND AS NEEDED
COURSE TYPE/CURRICULUM:
The courses are designed to be freeform, with the goal of providing a broad-based exposure to many aspects of professional lyric writing. While there certainly will be elements of form discussion and topical lectures, the true purpose of these workshops is hands-on development of creative work, both individually and collaboratively. As a rule, ALL sessions include:
-
- 2.5 to 3 hour session format
- An in-class, creative blockbusting exercise;
- Guided feedback of existing work;
- An optional homework assignment applicable to either existing work or the work engendered in class exercises
Class size will optimally range from 3-10 students.
Classes with less than 3 students signed up subject to reschedule.
READY TO SIGN UP OFFICIALLY?
PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] and put ENROLL ME in the subject header.
Please also supply full contact information.
Because spring/summer schedules are fluid, we are offering classes at the times indicated on the calendar. Students are encouraged to take a series of six classes, and fees are designed to reflect that. However, should more (or fewer) classes be desired, class fees can be adjusted to accomodate.
All classes cover all things, so expect an exercise and opportunity for personal feedback each time. However, I’ve broken up the classes so some have an emphasis on in-class exercise, and others have more opportunity to bring in existing work. Each week will be different.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL:
While all classes are designed for artists, students and writers pursuing a professional career, they remain open to all levels.
LOCATION:
Currently all classes are scheduled to take place at one of the main Broadway rehearsal studios in the city–ie PEARL REHEARSAL STUDIOS, 500 Eighth Avenue, NY. Location is subject to change.
FEES:
The standard six-class run is set at $450.00 per student. All classes include potential for bonus/makeup sessions and an included private consult at no extra charge.
Payment is preferred via VENMO.
Some fee modification for more or fewer classes is possible, but preference will be given to students wishing to take a series of six sessions.
For more information re payments, contact Amanda Connors at [email protected] and put PAYMENT on the subject line.
PRIVATE INSTRUCTION:
While a half hour private consult is included in the series fee, additional private instruction fees can be arranged based upon project needs. Average sessions are set at $150.00 per hour. On occasion half-hour sessions can be booked, subject to availability. Refunds (in special circumstances) and make-up classes are subject to instructor approval and can be arranged or discussed individually.
SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS/SPECIAL GUEST ARTISTS:
On occasion, a professional level substitute teacher or guest artist might be utilized in the course of study. Advance notice will always be given.
HOMEWORK:
As a rule, there will be weekly homework assignments. Homework is designed to fuel class participation, and is optional – though assignment completion is recommended so as to get the most out of class instruction.
