Songwriting Made Simple: Turning Ideas Into Lyrics

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.

Turning Ideas Into Lyrics
A strong song needs words and musical ideas that connect with listeners and remain memorable. Learn how to develop their song ideas into lyrics, titles, choruses, and catchy hooks. This session will explore techniques for expressing an idea clearly, choosing effective words and phrases, creating repetition, and developing simple melody and harmony ideas. Participants will also learn how song sections such as verses and choruses work together to tell a story and support the central message. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created original lyrics and hooks while gaining practical tools they can use in future songwriting projects.
