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 songwriting and performance classes with some of the best: Claire Lynch, Joe Crookston, Peter Mulvey, John Pennel, Todd Hobin, Loren Barrigar & Mark Mazengarb, Jeffrey Pepper Rogers, and more. She will facilitate a group class, passing along insightful 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 whether you want to simply learn more about songwriting or are ready to take your songs to the next level, please sign up! Call 315-691-3550 or visit online: Earlville Opera House.
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. Call 315-691-3550 or visit online: Earlville Opera House.
