Youth Co-Writing

Announcing Young Songwriters Event!

We are gauging interest in a free youth songwriting event which would be designed for those aged 14-18 (approximately). This would consist of a introduction to songwriting workshop, overview of how co-writing works, and the opportunity to try co-writing with others from the group. (You can opt out of co-writing if you like, and just write on your own, but we do encourage you to try it. No pressure!)

This event would be open to any Saskatchewan songwriters at any level of experience, however, you'll get the most out of it if you have tried writing a few songs already. You do not need to play an instrument to participate.

We'd love to get your input on days and details. Check out more info.
