SONGWRITING TECHNIQUES OF THE MASTERS with Wayne Chase, author of How Music Really Works
July 22-26, 2015 @ REO Rafting Resort
Are you interested in learning how to write genuinely great songs—not just “pretty good” songs? A song does not become a great classic by accident. Writing brilliant songs takes real know-how—not luck or music industry connections. Research based evidence shows that songwriters who consistently write songs that become great classics use certain specific techniques. These techniques—both musical and lyrical—are much different from the methods you are probably using. All-inclusive from $625 US (camping option) or from $740 US (lodging option). 11 meals, REOfest entertainment and all resort amenities included!
