Song/Craft Songwriting Workshop with mentor Blair Packham

In the Song/Craft Songwriting Workshop, participants share their songs and get feedback from a songwriting expert.

Participants should prepare two songs to share. Every participant will be able to share one song and get feedback. If time allows, participants will be able to share a second one.

The feedback will be honest, kind, and focus on next steps.

A keyboard (Korg SV-66) will be provided and participants are welcome to bring their own handheld instruments or play a recording of their song.

Auditors are welcome, but will not be able to share songs and receive feedback.
