group classes
-
The group songwriting class meets Sundays at 1:00pm Pacific Standard Time. All classes are held over Zoom.
Other dates and times will be considered if demand is high.
-
Each group songwriting class costs $35 per participant. You are encouraged to sign up for a minimum of 8 weeks to get the most out of the group experience.
-
The group songwriting class must have a minimum of 2 students to run and is capped at 15 students. Other policies apply.
A group class is the best option if you’re a beginner songwriter just starting out on your songwriting journey. Group classes cover all the topics of private lessons with less individualized attention. As a student you’re given the opportunity to learn from your fellow songwriters in the class with a focus on song sharing and feedback. A group class is also an excellent option for those who wish to remain mindful of money.
