What this is

Song Exploration Groups exist for one reason: to get you working. Each three-week session, you bring a song you've already started - a voice memo, a rough draft, something that's been sitting - and you move it forward. Every week, a new prompt pushes the song in a direction you might not have found on your own. Story, arrangement, production choices, structure. By the end, you'll have done substantial work on something real.

The whole program runs virtually on email and Discord. No scheduled meetings during the three weeks except for a closing Listening Circle, where the cohort gathers to share what they made.

Song Exploration Groups are for songwriters and producers of all backgrounds; it doesn’t matter if you’re new to the craft or if you’ve been exploring for years. These groups offer an opportunity to take one of your existing songs and explore, iterate, and collaborate with others. Our groups are held 100% online.

How it works

Each week you'll receive a prompt. Work on your song within the context of that prompt, submit a recording and any notes, and respond to your cohort's submissions with specific, thoughtful feedback. This repeats three times, and closes with a virtual Listening Circle at the end of week three.

There aren't any scheduled meetings during the session except for the closing circle. You work on your own time, in your own space. Plan to spend at least an hour each week listening and responding to others, on top of your own work with your song. Each session is $10.
