Join Songwriting Workshop
RONAN — A Song MT Songwriting Workshop will be held on Saturday, July 9 from 2-5 p.m. at Western Montana Musicians Co-op located at the Red Poppy in Montana. Got an old song gathering dust in the bottom of your guitar case or in the piano bench? Total newbie and want to learn more about the songwriting process? Here’s your chance to wake up your inner songwriter. The Western Montana Musicians Co-op and Song Montana announces our second songwriter workshop and concert series featuring talented singer-songwriters Doug Ruhman and Joel McColl. Workshop participants can expect to share their ideas and passions through the creation of original music. Although no songwriting experience is necessary, some students may wish to share an existing original composition with the group if they so choose. Please bring an open mind, an instrument to compose with (if possible), and one example of songwriting that you love (title and artist; can be performed or played on a recording - we have Bluetooth capability on site). Light refreshments will be provided. After the workshop, we’ll take a break and come back together for a Songwriter’s Showcase at 6 p.m. featuring Doug Ruhman and Joel McColl. Workshop participants are invited to share their songs during the showcase. The workshop is free but we suggest a $10 donation for the Songwriters’ Showcase.
