Making Your Words Sing: A Song Writing Workshop - Regina

Have you always wanted to set your words to music, but don’t know how? Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to improve on current skills, this exciting two-part workshop will focus on the tools that will help you become a stronger songwriter and musician.

This is a full day, two-part workshop (10am - 4pm). In the morning participants will discuss song structure, form, setting up hooks and other important foundations to song writing.
