Your Life Story Through Songs: Writing a Music-Based Memoir
Nothing can bring the past to life like a song! Writing a memoir can be a daunting project, but in this class, we’ll take it one song at a time! As you identify music associated with the people, places and experiences from your life, you’ll write vignettes influenced by each song. Before you know it, you’ll have a collection of stories inspired from the unique perspective of music!
This FREE, VIRTUAL class is for adults 55+. We meet via zoom, each Wednesday in April from 10:30- 11:30 am. Contact Emily@jfsutah.org to register. Class size is limited to 16 participants - register early!
