For adults age 18+. Registration is required.
Feel free to bring an instrument, partially written songs, and questions (optional, not required to attend).
Scott Lippitt is a Utah-based musician that has been creating and releasing music for over a decade. Scott believes that the best songs come from a place of having fun, feeling free to make mistakes, and experimentation. In this course Scott will discuss three possible starting points for writing a song: starting with a feeling, starting with a story, and starting with inspiration by another song. In the second part of the class, the group will explore song-writing in person by creating a song as a group, giving space for attendees to workshop their songs, and time for questions and answers.

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.
Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.
A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
