Homemade Jams Songwriters Workshop

Resonate Choral Arts is a Portland-area choir of women and teenage girls embracing connection - to ourselves, each other, and the community - through music. As our director Kristin Gordon George wrote when describing our mission, "There's beauty and meaning in a lot of stuff, and we strive to keep learning about it and connecting to it in new ways."

To that end, we are hosting our first-ever songwriters workshop with help from Artichoke Community Music and the Regional Arts and Culture Council.

Sunday November 5
9:00-11:30 and 1:00-4:30
Artichoke Community Music
2007 SE Powell Blvd., Portland, OR 97202

9-11:30 am - CLASS
Three songwriting presentations by local artists
Lee Aulson of Bevelers - "Less Is More" Minimalism in Songwriting
Luz Elena Mendoza of Y La Bamba - "Getting Vulnerable"
Anne Weiss - "I Wonder If?" What if your songs are asking you a question?

11:30-1:00 - break

1-4:00 pm - LAB
Participants each share a song (or seed of a song) and panelists provide generous listening feedback and help workshop the song. Approximately 20 participants will be split into 2 groups. Panelists will be the morning presenters, plus Resonate-affiliated songwriters and composers.

Want to atten without workshopping a song? No problem! Select the "Class Only" or "Class + Lab (observe only)" option.
