Transformative Songcraft Workshop with C.B. Smith - Part Two

This is the second part of C.B. Smith’s Transformative Songcraft Workshop. The goal of this unique program is to help participants develop meaningful work that promotes change for both writer and listener. In Part Two we’ll dig deeper into skills such as writing from the heart, applying critical thinking, and developing our personal styles.

The “Poetry of Place” chapter focuses on how songcraft can help us appreciate and celebrate the environments we live in, whether they be urban canyons or mountain meadows. A chapter called “Loss & Grief” discusses writing about these difficult topics, and how this process can help us honor departed loved ones and deal with our feelings by singing about them. “Look to the Sky“ explores the spiritual (though not necessarily religious) side of songwriting, and the “Building Your Writing Practice” chapter provides insights into developing writing skills as well as tools for enhancing work habits.
