Ridgefield Playhouse Offers Songwriting and Screenwriting Classes

From idea to finished song! Songwriting with Kevin Briody will help you take your thought and teach you how to structure it into a song creating "hooks," crafting lyrics, manipulating melodies, rhythm and harmony, and merging words with music. Whether you favor pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, country, music, lyrics, or both, this Emmy Award winning songwriter will show you how to write songs that soar! Students will also have the opportunity to have a Q&A with artists in our upcoming Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer Songwriter Series! The class meets on Wednesdays from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m., October 5 - November 30.
