John Legend will teach a class on songwriting on MasterClass, the streaming platform where anyone can learn from the world's best across a wide range of subjects.
In his class, Legend will break down his songwriting process from start to finish, giving members a framework for finding their voice and writing with purpose. Legend will also give members a firsthand look into the creation of his song "Free," which he first performed at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in April.
In anticipation of his upcoming album, Legend, the 12-time Grammy Award winner shares his process for writing songs that inspire and impact the world.
In his class, Legend teaches members how to capture experiences, convey feelings and inspire a movement through music. Using his hit songs "All of Me," "Again" and "Dope" as case studies, he shares how he uses mumble tracks to write melodies and how he structures songs to tell a story.
"Songs are 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."
The class is available exclusively on MasterClass, where subscribers get unlimited access to all 150+ instructors with an annual membership.
