We host special events regularly, some of which can be joined online. We've highlighted a few offerings below, but be sure to check the full calendar below for all.

Songwriting Workshop

About this Workshop
This workshop is for music students who have never written a song as well as those looking to improve their existing skills, regardless of your primary instrument. Over the four session course (60min each), students will cover the basic building blocks of the songwriting process. Each class focuses on one aspect of the process including: Form, Harmony, Melody, and Lyric.

Students are encouraged to attend at our studio but are welcome to join online.

Supportive Environment
We know the songwriting process can be intimidating! While each student will be responsible for applying the lessons learned from each class on their own, all sharing will be on a volunteer basis. So you can focus on getting better at songwriting without the stress! 

Learn in Real Time
The four courses will be divided between two experienced songwriters on the Page Music Lessons staff, with each section focusing on their particular strengths to ensure you get the highest quality instruction. The course will culminate with the sharing of an example written by the instructor(s) that was created in real time with the students and using the same tools presented. However, all are welcome and encouraged to share their work at the end.
