SONGWRITING WORKSHOP

Ready to stop guessing and start writing the songs you’ve always imagined?

Songwriting with Andrew Grossman is a 6-class immersive workshop held over the course of 8 weeks, designed to take you from a spark of an idea to a finished, shareable song. Whether you’re a beginner looking for your first “hook” or an experienced player wanting to break out of a creative rut, this course offers a blend of practical lecture and hands-on workshopping. You’ll learn to connect your personal musical influences to your writing style in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Spring Session: Every Wednesday, April 29 – June 10
8:00-9:00 PM in The Pocket


​​
Single Class: $29  |  Full Session: $192 ($24 per class)
SIGN UP HERE!

What You'll Learn:

  • The Songwriter’s Toolkit: Master both traditional and experimental methods to find your unique voice.
  • From Lecture to Workshop: Experience interactive sessions followed by a workshop phase where you’ll receive direct coaching on your original work.
  • Crafting the Hook: We’ll focus on building “emotional weight” and lyrical clarity to make your songs resonate.
  • Final Share: The session culminates in a group sharing where everyone performs the song they’ve built throughout the course.

What To Bring:

Your instrument (if applicable), a notebook, and your creative curiosity.
