Building songs from the lyric up.
The Bachelor of Arts in Music with an emphasis in Songwriting degree at Indiana Wesleyan University blends the disciplines of music, writing, literature, and theology and is geared toward the foundational creation of songs, building them from the lyric up.
As a part of the new Songwriting major at IWU…
- Students will hone their artistic gifts and skills through the Songwriting program and will receive formal guidance and critique in a safe environment prior to launching works into the marketplace.
- Students will be equipped with tools to create songs – whether music, lyrics or both – that impact culture through church music, Christian/gospel music, pop music or musical theater
IWU is proud to be partnering with Gloria Gaither in the development of curriculum for the Songwriting major. Gloria’s contributions to the process and program development of this exciting new major have been significant and we look forward to her ongoing involvement in addition to other visiting instructors and industry professionals.
