Writers Colony to host music arrangement workshop

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow, located at 515 Spring St. in Eureka Springs, will host a music arrangement workshop with producer and musician Eric Bragg from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 11.

The workshop, titled “Popular Music Arrangement: A Producer’s Viewpoint,” will provide participants with valuable insight into the often-overlooked aspect of music production that makes songs successful. Bragg, who has extensive experience in the industry as a recording/ mixing engineer, producer and electronics engineer, will lead the workshop.

The event is open to musicians looking to produce their music in a studio and has a capacity of 20 participants with a recommended donation of $20. Participants are encouraged to bring pen and paper to take notes during the workshop.

During the event, Bragg will provide a producer’s perspective on music arrangement, focusing on analyzing participants’ own music. Topics covered will include arrangement patterns and dynamics, the importance of instrument and musician choices and creating space in the creation process.

Bragg’s in-depth knowledge of acoustics, electronic systems and professional audio production will provide a unique opportunity for participants to learn the “guts” of music arrangement that make songs successful.
