Masterclass with Andrew West
During the masterclass, Andrew West, professor at Leeds College of Music (UK) and author of the book "The Art of Songwriting", will illustrate the different ways in which it is possible to write songs that are communicative and are able to convey emotions in those who listen to them.
The masterclass is aimed not only at songwriters, but also at producers and musicians who work with them and who want to learn more about the different tools available to a composer to create and structure a song that is "communicative".
Credits for academic courses: 1/3 CFA
