This seminar focuses particularly on polishing those small bumps that distract the listener and let air escape from the song's tires. Due to time constraints, there are a limited number of places for participants, and a special rate for observers. Whether or not you have a song of your own worked on, the process is highly instructive and full of helpful tools to use in your writing.

Masterclass
|
Dellwood, MN |
Pat's Masterclasses are legendary. In these events, watch him take already strong songs and put them through a workout until they emerge trim and toned. In the 2 hour session, Pat will look at 2-3 songs, taking time to work out any kinks, focusing on prosody between the intent of the song and structure, rhyme, rhythm, point of view, phrasing and many other tools that have proven so useful to Grammy winners John Mayer and Gillian Welch and seminar participants across the globe. No one demands more of a song than Pat, and he can show you how to take it all the places it could go to cross the "finished" line, while millions cheer. In order to submit your song, please send an mp3 and lyric to info@cmcproductions.com.au. Selected songwriters will be notified prior to the events. Places are limited. Tickets: $100.00 Contact Clare McLeod: 603 339 7193 or at info@cmcproductions.com.au for more information | ||
