2-4 Person Small-Group Recording & Songwriting Workshop - At The Inner Sound Studio
This small-group workshop is designed for anyone curious about making original music - whether you're a seasoned instrumentalist, aspiring singer-songwriter, or a passionate beginner. We'll explore the tools and techniques behind modern music production: songwriting, beat-making, digital arranging, mixing, and more. Students will learn how to turn musical ideas into fully produced tracks, gaining both technical know-how and creative confidence. Weekly workshops will last 60-90 minutes, depending on. the number of enrollees. Prior experience and outside practice are helpful, but not required - just a hunger to learn and desire to explore your own voice in a supportive and collaborative setting.
Winter and Spring Recital Performances + New This Year: “Pop-Up” Workshops
All studio enrollees are welcome to participate in live and online recitals each semester. These are joyful, low-pressure gatherings where we share music with friends, family, and each other. New this year, students will also receive exclusive invitations to pop-up workshops focused on topics such as improvisation, rhythm, creative collaboration, and recital preparation. These experiences are designed to spark inspiration, cultivate well-rounded musicianship, and build musical community.
