Music Educators generally haven’t had access to a songwriting course designed for their specific needs - and due to the traditional nature of pre-service training, haven’t had access to spaces where songwriting is being taught.

This course is for you if:

  • Your training never prepared you for being creative in this way
  • You want to feel confident in writing songs
  • You don’t know how to get started in songwriting
  • You need new ideas for inspiring yourself and others to write
  • You’re afraid that when you do write a song you will be terrible at it
  • You struggle to understand why you need to be able to write songs to help others write their own songs
  • You teach music in any context (general, private, voice, instrumental) and are interested in knowing more about songwriting
  • You’ve written a few songs but want some more ideas about songwriting and how to engage students in writing songs
  • You’re ready to explore your personal musicianship
  • You’re unsure about how to create engaging lesson plans in songwriting
  • You think songwriting is hard

By the end of the course you will have:

A Plan

Create a plan for your personal songwriting growth as well as your students' exploration

Confidence

Gain confidence in your songwriting abilities so you can share that knowledge with your students

Resources

Receive a full book, lesson planning strategies, worksheets and assessments you can use with your students

Thank you for making this course so engaging and being so warm and encouraging. You made it easy to take chances in learning something new!

- Samantha, K-12 teacher

Thanks to the incredibly engaging, safe, and encouraging environment/culture that is set up in this class, I was able to grow as a musician, singer, consumer of music, and teacher. Prior to this class, my musicianship identity did not include songwriter and now I can PROUDLY state that I AM A SONGWRITER!!! :-) -

Chelsea, 9-12 teacher

This team is a creative powerhouse; they are bursting with ideas to share. They are just as focused on building confidence in human beings as they are in building confident songwriters.

Jay, college professor

This course is incredibly balanced between learning new material, having access to great resources, and just experiencing a very positive and encouraging creative space. I highly recommend it to any musician looking for new ways to think about and explore their songwriting craft.
