Songwriting Made Simple: Finding the Chords and Recording the Demo

Do you dream of writing songs but are unsure where to begin or struggle to finish? This three-part workshop series offers a introduction to the songwriting process, guiding participants from their first spark of inspiration to a complete song. Designed for beginners, aspiring songwriters, and musicians looking to build their creative skills, the series provides a supportive space for self-expression, storytelling, and artistic growth. Participants will leave with original work in progress, practical tools they can continue using, and greater confidence in their ability to create and complete songs.

The first half of each class will include a songwriting lesson focused on the week’s topic. During the second half, participants will work together to write one original song over the three-week series. By the final workshop, the group will create a recorded demo that can be shared with the class.

Finding the Chords and Recording the Demo
Many songwriters have unfinished lyrics, melodies, voice notes, or song fragments that never become complete songs. This workshop focuses on turning those creative scraps into structured, polished work. Learn how to organize verses, choruses, bridges, melodies, and harmonies and make thoughtful revisions without losing the original idea. The workshop will also introduce simple approaches to creating a clear, professional-sounding demo. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of the complete songwriting process and an original song that is finished or well on its way to completion.
