October 12
Reyna Stagnaro Songwriting 1 at Earlville Opera House 1-3 p.m.
Are you a songwriter or would you like to be one? Do you have an original song that needs fine tuning or that you'd like feedback on?
Reyna Stagnaro is a recognized songwriter and has taken classes with some of the best: Claire Lynch, Joe Crookston, Peter Mulvey, John Pennel, Loren Barrigar & Mark Mazengarb, Jeffrey Pepper Rogers, and more. She will facilitate a group class, passing along valuable songwriting tips and encouraging the sharing of songs and constructive critique among participants.
If you don't have an original song to bring to the group, time could be set aside for a writing exercise that will encourage a new song to emerge and grow. You will also gain inspiration and insight from listening and participating in the discussion, so even if you want to just learn about songwriting, please sign up!
Bring your instrument, notebook, and if you have a song - copies of your lyric sheet to share. Music grows at EOH !
October 26
Reyna Stagnaro Songwriting 2 at Earlville Opera House 1-3 p.m.
This class follows two weeks after Songwriting 1, giving participants time to consider suggestions and possibly make changes in their song. Bring your instrument and finished song to present to the group in a relaxed setting that will give you a feel for audience/artist dynamics. Reyna Stagnaro will discuss key elements of performance, encouraging you to hone your skills and do your best performing your song. You will also get feedback from the group.
A good song should be specific as well as universal. Songs come through you, but if they are performed and shared, they should have elements that touch and speak to others. You will learn how to encourage the listener to become part of your song's story. In this way, Reyna will help take you and your songs to the next level.
If you did not participate in Songwriting 1 but have an original song you would like to present to the group, you are welcome to sign up for Songwriting 2. You will find it meaningful and worthwhile to get feedback on your song and focus on improving performance skills. Participants are encouraged to perform in the Songwriters Showcase the following week.
Nov. 2
Reyna Stagnaro Songwriters Showcase at Earlville Opera House 7 p.m.
An evening performance will feature 'graduates' from Songwriting 1 & 2 and other local songwriters if space allows. Reyna Stagnaro will host, opening with a few originals to illustrate some of the points made in the workshops. So the audience will feel part of the growth and awareness the workshops inspired and learn something about the art of songwriting and listening as well. The showcase will give performers an opportunity to play their songs before an attentive, supportive audience in the beautiful, historic Earlville Opera House. The audience will enjoy new songs from our very talented local songwriter community. Join us for this unique evening and celebrate the Creative Arts!
