So you've always wanted to write but never seem to get started. Fall classes at The Ridgefield Playhouse are for YOU.
You don’t have to play an instrument to write a song, in Songwriting with Kevin Briody you can take your poetry or thought and learn the elements of songwriting with the Emmy Award winner. Students will also have the opportunity to have a Q&A with artists in our upcoming Doyle Coffin Architecture Singer Songwriter Series! Award Winning Musician Kevin Briody will teach you how to structure songs, create “hooks,” craft lyrics, manipulate melody, rhythm and harmony, merge words with music, and write toward genre. Whether you favor pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, country, music, lyrics, or both, he’ll show you how to write songs that soar! The class meets on Wednesdays from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m., October 5 – November 30.
