Our Approach

Songwriting Lessons for All Ages

Ever wish you could write your own songs? Many try to write music with the mistaken belief that songwriting ability is either something you’re born with or something you aren’t. We’re here to show you that songwriting is a learned skill that you can work at and improve like anything else.

Whether you’re about the music or the lyrics, songwriting is one of the best ways to express yourself. Whether you have an eye toward a music career or just want an outlet for self-expression, we want to give you the tools to create your own music. What could be more therapeutic?

For those of you interested in the music business, songwriting is invaluable. At The Musicians Woodshed, we specialize in voice lessons and artist development and believe that songwriting is one of the fundamental aspects of making a singer a well-rounded artist. The music industry can be a tough business for budding singers, but you’ll dramatically increase your chances of getting noticed and becoming a paid performer if you can write your own songs.

Songwriting Lessons Should Be Fun!

At The Musicians Woodshed, we understand that a spark for songwriting might lead you to our doors – but it’s the joy and creativity in our lessons that keeps you coming back! Our aim is for every student to LOVE their music lessons, embarking on an exciting journey filled with progress and discovery. Here, we infuse fun into the very fundamentals of songwriting!

Our expert staff combines a high standard of music education with a creative, student-centered approach.

We Emphasize Healthy Technique

Healthy technique is crucial for lifelong enjoyment and success in songwriting. Our primary focus is on teaching robust fundamentals, including lyric crafting, melody creation, and understanding song structure. We emphasize full-body engagement in the creative process, as we believe this approach not only enhances musicianship but also protects against creative burnout.

With the basics in place, you and your instructor will collaborate to shape the unique narrative of your songs. Our expert teachers will guide you in honing your songwriting skills, focusing on elements like emotional expression, thematic development, and stylistic diversity. As you learn, we will integrate music theory and music history, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching journey towards musical brilliance in songwriting.

We Care About Your Musical Interests

Songwriting instruction doesn’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Regardless of a student’s ability or past experiences, our teachers adopt a tailored strategy for each individual. This personalized approach is supported by comprehensive assessments, a custom learning plan, and dedicated one-on-one guidance throughout your songwriting journey.

While mastering the basics and techniques is crucial, our primary goal is to empower students to explore and develop their own unique musical styles and interests. Your teacher will collaborate with you to understand your goals and create a bespoke plan to achieee them. Whether your inclination is towards folk, rock, pop, or any other genre, The Musicians Woodshed nurtures songwriters to excel in their chosen field. This includes encouraging steps outside their comfort zone to experiment with new and diverse musical expressions.
