Back by popular demand: our most hands-on, radically practical workshop experience.

This time, we’re focusing on one of the most powerful parts of songwriting: finding surprising, exciting and genuinely songworthy lyrics.

What We’ll Do

Over the course of 90 minutes, we’ll guide you through a transformative lyric-writing exercise designed to help you generate strong song ideas, vivid images and original lines—without waiting for inspiration to strike.

You’ll then use what you discover to build and complete a first draft of a song.

This is not a workshop where you sit back and take notes. You’ll be writing throughout the session, with clear guidance at every stage.

What You’ll Discover

You’ll learn that great lyric ideas are not something you either have or don’t have.

They are something you can learn how to find.

The exercises in this workshop will show you that you are capable of generating ideas on any day, and of writing lines that feel poetic, surprising, emotionally resonant and connected to the listener.

Who It’s For

This workshop is for songwriters of any level, from complete beginners to experienced writers.

It’s especially useful if you:

• Struggle to know what to write about
• Get stuck waiting for the “right” idea
• Want your lyrics to feel more original and alive
• Tend to overthink every line
• Want practical tools you can return to whenever you feel blocked

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:

• A finished first draft of a song
• A collection of original lyric ideas and lines
• A repeatable lyric-writing exercise you can use again
• Greater confidence in your ability to generate strong material
• A clearer understanding of how to turn an idea into a song

What to Bring

Bring an instrument if you use one, something to write with, and a willingness to try something new.

You do not need to prepare anything in advance.

Just arrive ready to write.
