Songwriting Incubator

7 sessions · Wednesday · 1hr each

Your lab for getting a song started — and out the door

An incubator is your lab — where you put what you learn in class to work on real material, with feedback from rotating instructors and your peers. But it’s also a forcing function: you can’t produce, record, or mix a song you never wrote. So the goal here isn’t a perfect song, it’s momentum — leave with a song, even a rough one, that you can push into the Production or Recording Incubator. This is where a draft gets out of your head and into the pipeline.

Come ready to listen actively, create fearlessly, and share as you go — whether or not it’s a bop. The main ingredient of success is unabashed failure. You don’t need anything prepared to join.

Prerequisites: None. Come as you are.

One of the greatest, most fun classes I have taken. They open my mind to the possibilities of music

Shared a lot of great information about the fundamentals of music. It was very helpful to understand the basics from different perspectives and how they can be applied.

Had an Awesome class about Music Theory! It was short but sweet! Being only a music enthusiast and curious on what the class has to offer, Nathan (Instructor) was able to explain it so well and had me captivated on what it is all about. Pretty sure I’ll be attending more classes and just expand my knowledge for sure! -Timothy
