I'm excited to announce that my "Song Machine" Children's Songwriting Workshop will be offered by the Lansing, MI Parks and Recreation department this summer. The official listing is below, Lansing residents can register starting March 16, non-residents March 23.
SONGWRITING FOR CHILDREN (Recommended ages 8-12) Children are natural songwriters, and these fun and involving "Song Machine" workshops are designed to help them embrace and express their creativity. Educator and singer/songwriter Ben Hassenger (of Mystic Shake, Blue Jello) will lead the class through group song writing projects which will help foster their understanding of basic melody, harmony and rhythm aspects of music, learn about rhyming, metaphor and other creative writing skills and encourage expression of their feelings and thoughts as well as nurture teamwork and collaboration skills. Activities will include creating basic rhythm instruments, audio and video recordings and a performance on the last day of class to share their new songs with friends and family. Parents are welcome to stay, lend a hand and join in the fun! Instructor: Ben Hassenger. Activity #450330A $32/Res; $37/Non-Resident. June/16 to July/9 Tue & Thu 9-10 am Southside Center (Hill).
