Music & Lyrics 101 with David Cloyd

$10.00

Explore songwriting—the inside, the outside, and the mystery in the middle—with an award-winning indie singer/songwriter & recording artist (ECR Music Group, NYC), founder of Hook & Ladder Records, actor, creator, writer, scoring composer, and producer with PizzaDog Studios (including the new web series Cloyd), and co-founder of Buffalo Music Club.

When you’re just starting out as a songwriter, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and get lost in the possibilities. During this monthly workshop, David shines some light on what’s hiding behind the “Music & Lyrics,” then draws a map to help you find your way out of those deep dark woods.

  • Song forms
  • Harmonic progressions

  • Separating “the song” from “the recording”
