Hitting the Right Note:
A Songwriting Workshop
Writing Workshop in New Jersey
January 15-18, 2027
Led by R.G. Evans
This workshop is composed of a combination of novice songwriters and experienced performers who create an inviting, positive and comfortable atmosphere for performance and critique. Using creative and challenging exercises, we will write new songs or enhance existing material. We will practice:
- Developing chord progressions and melodies
- Crafting lyrics and phrasing
- Mastering the conventions of song structure
We will leave the weekend energized with exciting ways to transfer our vision from the page to our ears. Beginners and lyricists (non-musicians) are welcome.
*Limited to just 10 participants.*
“This workshop was truly an amazing experience! Our instructor provided a wonderfully supportive environment that was fun while being productive.”
