Songwriting Group

$10.00

By the end of your songwriting group, you’ll have:

  1. 3 new songs

  2. An expanded network of like-minded artists

  3. Proof that it doesn’t have to take years to finish a song

TERRA Songwriting Groups are for songwriters of all backgrounds; it doesn’t matter if you’re new to the craft or if you’ve been writing for years. These groups offer an opportunity to grow your practice, your community, and your catalog.

Songwriting Groups are 3-week sessions conducted fully online. We are given prompts every week and expected to write and submit our work by the end of the week. After each session, participants will have successfully worked on 3 new songs, received feedback from peers, and connected with new songwriters. You will be given access to TERRA’s private Discord server upon payment completion.

The purpose of TERRA Songwriting Groups is to create small pockets of individuals all working hard at their craft. We don’t make things easy, we don’t apologize, and we don’t shy away from a challenge. This isn’t a passing idea - it’s a commitment. We value the work over any subjective judgement. We value the person above all.

Every Monday morning, a prompt will be shared with the group. This could take many forms (a phrase, a poem, a video, a piece of art from a different medium, etc) and there could be an added constraint (no first-person, no rhyming, writing in the style of…, etc). The participants will have until the following Sunday to submit their song (recording + lyrics) to the group. From there, participants are encouraged to listen and provide thoughtful and actionable feedback with positive intent with each other.

This general rhythm will be repeated 3 times for each group - all culminating in a virtual Listening Circle / celebration at the end of the 3 weeks.

The entire program is held virtually (Email + Discord)

There aren’t any scheduled meetings during the 3 week program except for the culminating Listening Circle - which will be communicated during each session.

We all work differently, so we can’t estimate the time investment, but you should allocate at least an hour a week for listening and providing feedback - on top of writing your own song.
