About this class

Whether you’re strumming your first chord or writing lyrics in your notes app, this class helps you turn raw ideas into an original song that’s all your own. You’ll explore song structure, write lyrics, learn chord progressions, and record a demo of your track. Want to perform it live? Totally an option. Want to keep it personal? That’s cool too. With time to write, jam, and create at your own pace, this is your space to experiment and grow as a songwriter.

Gear + Software:

  • Instruments (piano, guitar, ukulele)
  • Microphones
  • PA system
  • DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)
  • Ableton Live

Great for students who are curious about music, whether they dream of playing in a band or going solo. Perfect for beginners and aspiring artists who want to write, play, and tell their story through song.
