John Legend Launches a New Masterclass in Songwriting
Legend offers budding singers a songwriting class in which he breaks down the composition process of some of his most successful tunes. In doing so, Legend also provides inspiration for musicians trying to establish their own voice in music.
In one course, Legend gives an inside look at the making of his current single “Free,” off his latest album. The chart-topping songs “All of Me,” “Again,” and “Dope” by Legend will also be there as case studies in the masterclass.
“Songs are the core to who we are and are such an important part of humanity,” Legend said. “My class will give you the tools to find your voice, figure out who you are, and establish yourself with longevity so you can make a real impact through music.”
One of the highlights of the class is an analysis of his songwriting process for the Oscar-winning song “Glory,” which was for the 2014 movie Selma. Among his numerous lessons is the significance of being a solid collaborator, and knowing how to blend music genres. You can then sign up for Legend’s songwriting course at the MasterClass website, the price for signing up is $15 per month.
