MUSC 269: Songwriting II. This course is designed to strengthen your songwriting skills in every respect. Closer attention is paid to marketing skills, legal procedures, finding one�s personal niche in the music business (whether to focus on one�s own style, concentrate on writing tunes for other acts, or both; whether to go through a publisher or be your own publisher; etc.). Co-writing music is to be explored (you put lyrics to someone else�s music; they put music to yours). Class time centers around the analysis of successful songwriters in every genre.
Prerequisites: MUSC 268
