A killer melody line can make a song (and a lame one can also break your song).  You know a great melody when you hear it, by maybe you're wondering WHY it works?
That's what we'll explore in this class, as we dive into songwriting/composition techniques to strengthen your music. 
We'll approach this topic by looking at nature.  Nature is all around us, and it's literally us. Our bodies are part of nature. Therefore, we are instinctually attracted to works that have really strong similarities to nature. Not literal similarities (i.e. a song about the ocean), but the similarity in structure and anatomy.  
Here are some of the things we'll cover in this class, that will help you when you are writing a song:

What can we learn from smoke - and how that teaches about anticipation...
