Songwriting

Susie has guided many children into the creative world of songwriting. Beginning with simple chord progressions, students practice making up melodic and rhythmic phrases to go with the chords, find some words that fit and they're on their way.

Students of all ages love to create their own music and songs. (With-out fail, a student will practice his/her own material much more devoutly than anything else assigned.)

New songwriters often have melodic and lyrical ideas but no harmony (chords) to go with them. Susie helps aspiring writers find the right chords, offers arrangement suggestions, and produces a song demo, helping clients manifest a quality finished product.
