Event
Tracing Melody and Rhythm in Writing - SS2024
Wednesday, June 5, 2024 10:00to11:30
Have you ever noticed how a good paper or article can sing to you as you read it? As a writer, awareness of the musical aspects of a text may help you “compose” writing that flows well.
Participate in this workshop and you will:
- Identify the use of melody and rhythm in writing
- Understand how to use punctuation to create silence or pausing
Please have ready a 1-2 page excerpt of a current writing project to use as practice material.
This workshop is led by Farhan Ahmed, a musician and writer with a Master’s in Public Policy. Prior to moving to Montreal, Farhan worked as a journalist analyzing foreign policy and as a Market Experience Lead for Google in Asia.
The workshop will be offered online on Wednesday, June 5, 10:00 to 11:30 am. Registrants will receive the workshop link in a confirmation email.
