Songwriting 101 Workshop with Janet Feld at Club Passim

This workshop is for you if: you've always wanted to write a song but don't know how to start or you've written a bit and would love some tools to help you continue on this path. If you are someone who is already drawn to listen to music and/or play music, you are already a songwriter; if you've never written anything it only means that your "songwriting faucet" hasn't been opened yet. I teach a variety of writing tools that will atleast begin to open that faucet for you. We will discuss song structure and I will guide you through exercises to help take the fear and mystery out of the songwriting process. We will also discuss how to critique a song in a kind, specific way. Creating your own work is often a tender, vulnerable experience and it is my priority to create a safe, fun environment in which to facilitate this process for class members. Please bring a notebook and pen.

"What a wonderfully creative experience! I have already written 2 songs, and I am feeling so much more confident that what I am writing is interesting. You are such a great Teacher Janet. You always make something that can be vulnerable, a very calming comfortable and safe environment…most importantly….Fun! You have a true gift. Thank you for sharing it with me!"
