Songwriting and Recording Workshops
Workshops offer an in-depth look at the songwriting practice - from lyrics and structure, to melody and message. Whether you’re new to the process or an experienced songwriter, our workshops are a place to find inspiration, get professional advice, collaborate with other emerging artists and dig deeper into your songs.
Songmaker Sessions offers workshops for schools and organizations looking to introduce songwriting to their students and participants. Workshops are fun, interactive and geared toward getting writers writing––no musical experience necessary.
Courtney is also available to speak as a visiting artist (online and in-person) on various topics including songwriting, arts advocacy and personal/ professional development.
Private Sessions
One-on-one sessions focus on your individual songwriting practice. It’s a great way to explore your unique voice as a writer and bring your song ideas to life.
