Senior Seminar in Songwriting: Songwriter-Topliner Focus

SW-393

The Senior Seminar: Songwriter-Topliner focus is designed to prepare the student for a career as a songwriter-topliner. The course is divided into two parts: a small group class designed to guide students in the preparation of their final projects and a large group seminar where students can develop community and meet with industry professionals. This course requires students to construct a small portfolio of works; develop a creator vision; create short and long term action plans; design business materials; register with appropriate CMO’s; and discuss, analyze, and research industry norms and contacts. Through the course deliverables, students will demonstrate proficiency as a songwriter-topliner.
