SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS:
*NEW!*
Write Songs to Heal! Songwriting
workshops
facilitated by Vanessa Stevens
In this two-part interactive
talk and workshop, singer/songwriter and founder of The Purple Song Project
Vanessa Stevens shares a brief insight into how songwriting helped her heal as
a survivor of abuse, how music has played a critical role in her life and how
writing songs can help you to explore your own story.
You’ll learn: the two
phases in the craft of songwriting; the inspiration and the sweat! The inspiration phase is where we have the
desire to create and the second phase (the sweat phase!) where we enlist the tools effectively
to how to create, the “how,” to help us
clearly communicate to our listeners.
Learning the valuable skill of
songwriting can help you to put your poems to music and capture and effectively
express your thoughts and ideas. You’ll even have a better understanding of the
songs you hear on the radio!
Instruments are optional, and there
is no additional charge for materials. Bring a pen/pencil and a notebook.
Handouts will be provided. There is a door prize each workshop.
"Write Songs to Heal" workshop, introducing survivors to songwriting as a healing tool. Students learn the basics of songwriting, the two phases of any creative process and through a multi-media presentation, interactive activities, and exercises, students take away a clearer understanding of songwriting and a "can do" attitude for anything!
