Telling Your Truth In Song
Songwriting: Turning Words into Song
In this workshop, for singers of all experience levels, we will explore ways to reach your greatest potential in singing, led by a professional singer and vocal instructor with decades of experience in performing and teaching. The first half of the workshop will focus on healthy vocal technique in rock/pop singing and how to find your authentic voice. The second half of the workshop will be a masterclass-style session, where participants are invited to sing a portion of a favorite song and get personalized coaching and tips to help give their best performance. Bring out your inner superstar and come out for a fun and affirming afternoon of singing!
Songshare: Why Do We Like the Music We Like?
Have you ever wondered WHY you gravitate toward certain music and away from other songs? In this workshop we will explore the elements of music and our preferences for certain styles over others. We will each share a song that we LOVE to see if our own listener profiles match what we have chosen! You may even discover some new music to jam to!
Writing music is a powerful way to help us process emotions and connect with our deeper selves, but it can seem impossible to know where to start if you haven’t done it before! Even if you have no musical background there are tools available to help you write your own song. In this workshop you will learn some methods to help you access your inner songwriter and set your story to song! No experience required, but if you want to bring an instrument feel free!
How do you set words to music and make a song of your own creation? In our last workshop we focused on how to write lyrics--this workshop will be how to set your lyrics to music! You do NOT need to have attended the first songwriting workshop to attend this one. We will write a song as a group and you will leave with tools to craft a song on your own!
Finding Your Rhythm in Percussion
In this workshop we will explore what it takes to be a percussionist. From finding the beat to playing on a full drum set, you'll come away having found your own rhythm and feeling empowered to "bang on the drum all day!"
