Songwriting Workshop with Patrice & Mary

Date: November 15, 2025 (Saturday)
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 NN
All registrations are non-refundable.

Workshop Highlights

• Learn song forms fast: verse/chorus/bridge, pre-chorus, hooks, and how structure drives emotion.

• Pro tips & tricks: practical techniques we use as working singers to spark ideas, strengthen melodies, and tighten lyrics.

• Writing methods that work: simple frameworks for starting from a concept, a melody, a chord loop, or a beat.

• Hands-on drills: quick solo exercises to generate hooks, refine phrasing, and build stronger sections.

• Partner & group work: collaborative writing rounds to practice co-writing, give/receive notes, and finish sections together.

• Live Q&A: open time to ask anything about writing, performing original music, or moving a song from idea to finished draft.

• Song feedback: optional on-the-spot feedback if you bring a work-in-progress.
