Songwriting Intensive

This workshop has been rescheduled for Fall 2026. A date will be announced in July. Please contact us if you'd like to be placed on the wait list: info@firesideinkwriters.org

This two-day songwriting intensive is focused on developing authentic, voice-driven, lyric-driven work—whether you’re working with three chords on a guitar or refining a more advanced musical practice. This is not a class about writing Nashville hits. Over the weekend, we’ll look at the power inside the sounds of words, phrasing, and melody, and spend time studying classic folk and rock songs to understand what makes them work. We’ll also cover essential music theory for songwriters so you can understand which chords work together and move forward without guessing. Through guided exercises and writing time, you’ll generate new material and leave with a song you’ve begun or completed in a supportive, focused environment. Limited to 8 seats.
