H85.1105 Musicianship & Performance 4 Credits
Instructor(s): Henry Gaffney
This course introduces students to the art of crafting hit songs. We study the “great” writers of popular music, from Irving Berlin to Babyface, and we make practical applications of that knowledge as we craft songs both collaboratively and individually. Students gain a rudimentary knowledge of musicianship, as well as an overview of the pragmatic aspects of commercial songwriting, including copyrighting and publishing.
