Songs Forever - A 5-Week Workshop for Songwriters

Instructor: Beth Wood
Monday Evenings January 29 - February 26 from 6:30-8:00 PM
Suggested registration fee: $150

Songs are tiny miracles! In around four minutes, songwriters can create a new world to carry stories, emotions, history, what we want to remember and celebrate. And songs are uniquely powerful tools for connection. In Songs Forever! - A 5-Week Songwriting Workshop/Playshop, we will build a supportive community of songwriters to usher in new songs and fine-tune songs in progress.

Do you ever feel stuck or not know what to write about? Ever feel like you are singing into the void? In this interactive workshop, we will dive into generative writing exercises and games, and we'll listen deeply to learn from each other's songwriting process. There will be time for writing in our sessions, time for offering and receiving feedback, and weekly writing prompts to take home.

Instructor Beth Wood says, "I LOVE sharing what I have learned and what works for me in songwriting. I love supporting other songwriters in their creative process and in sharing their work. I love what happens when people who love songs gather to geek out about songs! Bring your open heart, your open mind and your curious spirit."

What we will do in our time together:

• Practical writing exercises/games
• Share ideas, songs, and creations with each other
• Deep listening
• Share in discussions about our songs and the mysterious creative process
• Work from prompts to generate new songs
• Support and learn from each other

This class is limited to 12 participants. For more info, please reach out to Beth directly at bethwoodmusic@hotmail.com.
