29 Palms Inn is calling me, my dorky casio keyboard, my blue Autoharp, my iPad and my bulging file of random song ideas. Thank you, Secret Supper attendees…you’ve made this possible!

I’ve been encouraging others to write for quite a while. Now it’s my turn!! Yes!

Hey!

I’m starting a new Basics of Songwriting class on January 10th. I know you may be thinking “I’m not a songwriter” or “I’m terrible at music” or “I don’t have time,” but I believe that  deep down, you have always wanted to write songs but don’t know where to start.  I can help!

This is what some of my students had to say:

“I thought the class was so much more than I expected. Everyone had so much to say in their own ingenious way!  I was impressed….and I had a GREAT time!!!!! and learned a lot in spite of myself!”

“It was a fantastic class and you are a fabulous teacher, Rain! I learned so much. Thank you.”

“Thank you again for the opportunity to take this class. I learned so much! And I have two whole songs now!!!”

“Thanks again for including me in your maiden teaching trial. I enjoyed the entire thing.”

Go out on a limb and try the song class!  You don’t have to have any previous musical experience, just a love of music and the desire to try something new.  We will have a blast, I promise!

Here’s the flyer. Hope to see you in class!

In honor of the day, my song “Wide Awake” is available for a free download on the “on sale” page.

That’s what she said, that’s for sure!

I was filing in my office and found this list I made when we were mixing my first album. Musicians are so mature.

So for your daily dose of  juvenile humor… (more…)
