BRIAN ENO TO CONDUCT SONGWRITING COURSE FOR SCHOOL OF SONG NEXT YEAR

The program includes lectures, hour-long Q&As, a live writing exercise and more

Last night (November 13), the School Of Song announced its January 2025 program, which will see the legendary multi-hyphenate conduct a songwriting course for its applicants. The course, titled Songwriting With Brian Eno, will take place over the course of a month.

The School Of Song wrote on social media to announce the course: "School Of Song is overjoyed to announce that Brian Eno will be leading our Songwriting Workshop in January 2025. Come join us as @brianeno guides us through his multifaceted relationship to the creative process."

The course will see Eno conduct four lectures via Zoom, lead hour-long Q&A sessions with students, song-share sessions and even a live in-class writing exercise with the musician himself. Topics being covered during the course include The Role Of Surrender, Avant Gardening, Oblique Strategies and more.

The program will cost USD$160, with registrations closing on January 4 - just a day before the first session begins. You can register for the course here.

Eno said in a statement per the course website: "I'm looking forward to the chance to properly articulate some ideas about the creative process that have been fermenting over the last fifty years. To be able to do this with some fresh young minds and imaginations was a chance that I couldn't refuse."
