Sometimes a great line or image can get lost in a verse; we get so focused on individual word choice that we miss the forest for the trees. In this workshop, we'll explore the structural elements of lyric writing that can help keep your audience clinging to every word. We'll introduce some frameworks for thinking about rhyme, rhyme schemes, lyrical meter, verse structure and how they affect our sense of movement and arrival in a song. Some songwriting experience recommended but not required. Optionally, feel free to bring some fragments or a song you'd like to revise!
