Songwriting Circle with Erin Frisby

Saturdays November 21 - December 19 * 3pm * $125 * REGISTER

Have you been thinking about writing your first song? Are you already writing songs but looking for an encouraging community in which to hone your craft? Have you tried other groups but not found likeminded people or a comfortable setting? Then this songwriting circle is for you!

Over five sessions we will use guided feedback and a safe and welcoming environment to build confidence while creating great songs.

You will:

• Share songs or songs in progress

• Receive weekly feedback

• Receive weekly songwriting exercises and prompts

• Receive a link to a playlist of songwriting greats

• Be invited to at least one group open mic outing

• Be included on the class compilation if desired

Don’t worry if you’ve never written a song before, are focusing on lyrics only, or have only just started playing an instrument. There will be options to learn more, invitations to collaborate, and tools available to tailor your experience.

Saturdays: Nov. 21, 28 Dec. 5, 12, and 19 from 3 - 4:30 pm. The cost is $25 per session paid in advance for the full five weeks ($125) guaranteeing a spot or $30 per session at the door.
