Stories That Sing: A Songwriting Workshop
Discover the power of your unique story through song.
Your life holds moments that only you have lived, perspectives that only you can share, truths that only you can tell. These experiences are the raw material for songs that matter—not because they sound like what's on the radio, but because they carry the authentic weight of your journey. In this workshop, we'll explore how to transform your personal stories into songs that resonate with both heart and melody.
What You'll Experience
This intensive journey focuses on the intersection where storytelling meets music. Through creative techniques that bypass your inner critic, you'll learn to tap into your most authentic voice and share the stories that only you can tell. We'll work with guided writing prompts designed to unlock the moments and memories that are waiting to become songs, followed by focused free-writing sessions that unlock the songs waiting beneath the surface when you quiet your analytical mind.
The workshop creates space for small group collaboration that builds confidence and generates fresh perspectives on your emerging stories, paired with appreciative listening circles where every voice matters and vulnerability is celebrated. You'll gather practical tips and tools that extend beyond our time together, helping you continue mining your experiences for the songs they contain.
Your Guide
Led by a songwriter who has written over 200 songs since joining the Songaweek community in 2021, you'll learn from someone who understands both the struggles and breakthroughs of consistent creative practice. This isn't just theory—it's real-world experience from someone who shows up to create, week after week.
What You'll Take Home
By the end of our time together, you'll have:
- Strong song foundations ready for further development (maybe even complete songs!)
- A toolkit of techniques to overcome creative blocks
- Confidence to trust your creative instincts
- Connection with fellow songwriters who understand the journey
- Momentum to keep writing beyond the workshop
Who Should Attend
This workshop welcomes everyone—whether you've never written a song, have a few rough drafts gathering dust, or consider yourself an experienced songwriter looking for fresh inspiration. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to play with words, melodies, and ideas.
No musical experience required. Just bring an open heart and ready pen.
