ACOUSTIC EVENINGS '26 . Tune- & Songwriting

Tune- & Songwriting with Laura Cortese

In this practical workshop, musicians are invited to explore the creative process of writing music—whether that means instrumental melodies or songs inspired by traditional music. We’ll dive into melody construction, phrasing, and rhythm, and examine how traditional music can serve both as a solid foundation and a springboard for new ideas. Bring your instrument, notebook, and curiosity, because this workshop offers space for experimentation, collaboration, and discovery.
