    If you understand the basics of songwriting and have been writing some good songs, you may be wanting to learn how a good song becomes a GREAT one. If so, this is the workshop for you. Each week we will use a combination of fun exercises and your original songs to take your writing to the next level. The workshop emphasizes rewriting songs. We will talk about techniques for expanding creativity and "going there" emotionally. We will take a listen to some currently released songs and look at what makes them work. We will explore ways to enhance your song ideas and stories, and expand your lyrical, melodic, structural and harmonic palette. All genres are welcome. In addition, we'll touch on simple production techniques you can use to create your own recordings at home.
    Stan Swiniarski is an award-winning Nashville songwriter, composer and keyboardist.
