A-Song-A-Week: Virtual Songwriting Workshop

This will be an opportunity to explore the medium of songwriting in an inclusive playful environment with prompts, sharing, and a look at the inner workings of the songs we love. We will hold close the philosophy of poet William Stafford that, "There is no such thing as writer's block for the writer whose standards are low enough," and be kind to our creative journeys. I'll talk about my process, walk through songs I've written, and provide feedback for those who want it. The two hour time slot will include plenty of writing time, there is no required homework. Just show up ready to write.

All genres welcome. Some musical experience encouraged! (I.E. "I know three chords on a Ukulele" to "I have a PHD in classical conducting and a grammy").

The workshop will be held virtually on zoom on Tuesday evenings in July/August (excluding 8/13). Four session: July 20, Aug 6, 20, 27

Time: 5-7pm PT | 8-10pm ET.

Workshops will be recorded if you have to miss a session!

Testimonials from previous attendees:

“That weekend changed me. I was taught to play piano, complete a song, construct a bridge & perform in front of a group I admire. WOW!” - Jennifer

"I have recommended this to all my musical friends." - Jim

“I walked away with 4 rough versions of new songs! We were so engaged and busy that the weekend flew by so fast. The thoughtful sequencing of the experience was perfect at giving us time to access our creativity, mess around with music and lyrics, to learn a little content about songwriting, to apply what we'd learned to writing songs, and to share them with each other. I felt awash in positivity and creative flow, which left me glowing at the end.” - Kevin
