Songwriting Workshops


Songwriting for Teens – Saturday afternoon sessions for young songwriters (12-17)

We meet in the home of the delightful and talented Lisa Cole (vocal teacher) in East Sammamish. Be sure not to have holes in your socks because Lisa requests we leave our shoes by the door. Also, she’s been known to serve brownies for our mid-afternoon break. Email Lisa Cole for schedule.


Songwriting Workshops For Women on Shaw Island

I had an unforgettable workshop experience at this gorgeous Shaw Island retreat this summer. I’m looking forward to returning next year. I also HIGHLY recommend John and JoAnn Braheny’s songwriting and creativity workshop on Shaw Island every May. Due to accommodations, these Weekend Intensives are only open to women. Check out Sharon and Maggie’s web site for more info as www.songandword.com.
