SONGWRITING LESSONS & WORKSHOPS

“Your artistry is directly connected to your vulnerability” - David Whyte

Songwriting is a powerful tool of self expression. It’s a means of sharing, constellating and finding beauty in one’s own story.  My workshops are focused on finding one’s own unique songwriting through the practice and craft of combining poetry and music. 

Writers at all stages of their process are welcome. By diving deeply into our own stories we’ll surface with songs that are truly unique to each writer, uncovering the universal in the personal.

In One-on-one Coaching sessions or small group Workshops we will:

• Share completed songs and songs in progress and receive feedback

• Work on honing specificity, creating powerful visuals, and storytelling by showing, not telling

• Experiment with forms (i.e. Object, Character, Story songs)

• Examine chord progressions, melody and structure

• Work through writing blocks and create a daily practice for creativity

• Learn exercises and techniques to get a song started or work through blocks

• Hone your own personal style and voice while examining structural elements that serve the song

• Strive to build community, creating the opportunity for support, accountability and ongoing collaborations
