In this two-day intensive seminar, you will explore these challenges from Pat’s new book:

  • Object Writing
  • Metaphore
  • Extending Metaphore

You’ll learn to integrate Object Writing into your songwriting; create powerful and effective metaphores, using straight-forward exercises you can do on your own; extend and reverse metaphore, and work with rhythm and rhyme, preparing your writing for its journey into song. This seminar will open your mind and release your best ideas.

Participants in the seminars will have an opportunity to receive constructive critiques of their songs and lyrics.

ASCAP Members receive a special discounted price of $150. Remember to mention that you are a member when you RSVP. Contact Claire at 603-339-7193 or info@cmcmusicproductions.com
