Are you a poet who wants to collaborate in putting your words to music? Are you a musician or songwriter who is seeking to turn inspiration into song?

In this workshop we will practice guiding ideas into song form. We will discuss the seeds of inspiration, create new ideas, and practice editing songs. Bring original songs for sharing and create new ideas within the workshop. While you are not required to bring a musical instrument, you are welcome to bring your portable instruments of choice, including acoustic instruments, keyboards, and light percussion for playing indoors.
