Summer adult songwriting class

Saturdays | June 3, 10, 17, 24 | 9-10 a.m.
Lawrence Community Music School – Room 14
Fee | $75

Experience the artistry of songwriting with Loren Dempster!

Songwriting is a transformative creative experience to express truths, emotions, perspectives, and personality through words and music. By taking some time and space to explore your creative voice, you will be able to write songs that will foster a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

In this 4-week summer session, we’ll work individually and collaboratively to write songs and make music. While it is not necessary, please consider bringing some kind of chordal instrument like a guitar or ukulele and a way to write lyrics. There will be keyboards on site that are available to us.
