I would love to pursue a music project around song writing and guitar. I would update my progress daily or weekly on a blog, it would be describing how my guitar playing has improved and my song writing. Through Master classes (masterclass.com) around song writing, music theory, and lyric writing and a guitar teacher (through zoom) I will learn a lot in the time we have. I will keep a journal, of the notes I take in class about music theory and song writing. I would also like to have an end product that I write, describing my song writing process, and within this description I want my music theory knowledge to be a part of it. My final product would be a polished song (maybe even more than one song.) Since I have always been passionate about music I would love to explore song writing because it is something that I have never really done. My dad could help me and maybe I could also speak with a music teacher at LREI about my process. And this project would also be very accessible during covid times.

Essential questions:

How can you tell a story through music, through lyrics and chords?

How can I share my own story and feelings through music?

How do people connect through music and specifically lyrics?

Will learning music theory help me write songs?

Will writing songs everyday help me become a better  more efficient songwriter?
