Discover how you can make your songs for children truly GREAT! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned children’s artist, come learn how you can up your songwriting game with award-winning songwriter, columnist and songwriting teacher, Monty Harper. Monty will present songwriting as a discipline and discuss practices that can help you learn and improve over time. Covering a checklist of items to help you work a song’s first draft up to its best potential, this workshop will explore aspects of writing that make a song work particularly well for children and last for generations. MONTY’S BIO: Monty Harper is a born children’s musician. That is, he didn’t come to it through any other career, but simply began writing songs for kids as a hobby just out of college in 1989. Since then, he has largely made a living writing, performing, and recording songs that appeal to children and adults alike. Monty has won many songwriting awards, is a former songwriting columnist for CMN’s Pass It On, teaches songwriting workshops and residencies, writes songs for clients, helps run two songwriting critique groups, and coaches other songwriters to produce their best work. Monty posts a new original song every Monday morning on YouTube and has close to three hundred original songs available online. His favorite quote from an adult fan is: “Your songs are so much fun, they always make me smile!”
