Wild Words Creative Writing
Workshop
Teacher: Ute Carbone
Dates: Monday
September 26,
October 3, 17, 24, November 7, 14
Time: 7:00 – 9:00pm.
Cost: $70 .00 for residents, $80

Come and write in a fun, supportive atmosphere.
The goal of Wild Words is to inspire flow in first draft writing.
Through in-class writing activities,
participants produce new writing
and then read aloud what they have
written. Only positive feedback is
given about the strengths of the new
work in order to help writers see the
value of what they have written and
to foster a better sense of each writer’s unique voice.
Ute has taught first-draft writing
workshops for about twelve years
and loves the community of writers this work creates and I keep a
fan page based on the workshops at:

you just can’t part with? Come to

machine in good working order, basic sewing supplies, and approximately 1 dozen t-shirts. This number is somewhat flexible. This, along
with other fabric requirements,

Deepen your enjoyment of music
in all styles from around the world
by getting familiar with basic concepts about melody, rhythm, instruments, and song forms. Our classes
will consist of guided listening and
discussion of recordings, including
some well-known pieces and some
styles you might never have heard
before. You will be asked to find examples of music you like (or dislike!)
to discuss in class, and encouraged
to keep a “listening journal” for the
duration of the course.
In the first three sessions we will
define the elements of music and
what makes sounds musical; different types of instruments and how
they relate to society; and basic
principles of musical form. In the
remaining three meetings we will
focus on pieces and styles that particularly interest our group.
Dr. Spinney is the author of Passamaquoddy Ceremonial Songs:
Aesthetics and Survival (2010) and
articles on Native American music
and dance, Irish music, and popular music. She is a former orchestral
clarinetist, a member of the Boston
Village Gamelan, and taught a variety of courses in music at the college level from 1990 to 2010.
