Songwriting & Music Production for Kids

Creative writing meets music! Students ages 8-14 learn the various forms in which songs can be written. Open to all levels of musicians and instruments, including voice, kiddos will explore writing songs in a group setting as well as on their own. Let the creativity shine!

No prior musical experience or instrument knowledge is required – but students are welcome to bring an instrument of their choice with them to class.

Winter Session begins the week of January 5!

Each class will also be live-streamed and recorded for individuals who are not able to attend in person.
