Does music creativity inspire you? Are you interested in writing your own Hip-Hop lyrics but don’t know how to start or finish a song? Come and join us to learn fundamental songwriting skills to help you craft a piece that speaks to you, your experiences, and your emotions.  Songwriter’s Workshop – (12:30pm – 1:30pm, in the Teen Room, 3rd floor)  Spend an hour with local legend Von Vargas, an artist, DJ, producer, and streetwear designer from Baltimore, MD ( https://msac.org/directory/artists/von-vargashttp://www.vonvargas.com/   ).  Mr. Vargas will discuss songwriting tips and principles with the audience, as well as career paths and the application of songwriting skills to business and employment.  We hope aspiring artists and/or business people of all genres and generations will come spend some time with an artist who is “the real deal,” an award-winning and very experienced professional in the business of song-writing, a trustee of the organization that selects GRAMMY award-winners, a teacher, a writer, and producer of hip-hop music.  We may even test your skills with an exercise or two.  We are grateful for the Songwriter’s Association of Washington ( http://www.saw.org/ ), who helped connect us with Mr. Vargas, and the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County ( http://www.folmc.org/ ) who are funding this workshop and other aspects of Vinyl Record Day.    Registration is Required.
