A Song That Haunts
- Americana
- Indie
- Pop
- Roots
- School of Music class
- Singer/Songwriter
Why do certain songs resonate and nestle themselves in your ear? In this class — part investigation, part workshop — we will explore those haunting songs by dissecting a handful of the best. We’ll get to the core of their inner workings and see how we can apply those concepts into our own writing. A Song That Haunts will be a focused study in three parts: lyrics, harmony, and structure and will give students opportunity to discuss and workshop their own songs.
This class will be held from 6:30-7:45pm on Wednesday: September 5, 12, 19, 26, October 3, 10.
Please note: The Passim School of Music is located at 26 Church St. Cambridge, MA. Classrooms are located on the third floor and, unfortunately, we do not have an elevator.
