Hi,
The below URL is to Pat Pattison's homepage - professor of songwriting and poetry at Berklee College. If you follow the
Video link, it will take you to a few videos that are snippets from Pat's workshops on songwriting. These are new to his website and I thought that they might be of interest to the songwriters amongst us.
http://patpattison.com/home/ Pat is amazing. I've been to a number of his workshops and each time I go, I just continue to learn more and more. In fact, I was at my eighth weekend workshop with him two weeks ago. Australian songwriters are lucky that he likes the Aussie sunshine
If you're serious about songwriting and get a chance to go to Pat's workshops, take advantage of the opportunity, it will be well worth it. Lastly, just in case someone here is not aware of this information, Pat has also written three books that are available through amazon.com. These books approach, and teach, songwriting from a unique perspective. They are quite different from the usual songwriting manual. I continually re-read all his books because I find them incredibly helpful.
Regards,
Noel
