About the Show
Beth’s style when critiquing a song is fun and adventurous. She begins by analyzing and drawing out what is working and then identifying what can be better. She uses imaginative tangible examples to help songwriters create new space in a song to open it up like a magnet to more creative flow. Directing students to lift out and place re-writable lines onto “The Altar Of Things That Aren’t Going Anywhere” is a perfect example of Beth’s humorous way of tricking the mind into clearing verses or lines out of the way. Then you can dive back into the childlike play of the initial inspiration to bring forth new lines that are even better.
