Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have any songwriting or other music experience to attend this group?

Most definitely not! Most of our attendees have little to no experience writing songs, nor are musicians. The songwriting group is structured in a way that allows all members, regardless of experience or musical talent, to succeed and engage in songwriting for their own therapeutic benefit.

Do we write songs collectively as a group or will I write songs by myself?

Most of the songs written are composed collaboratively by the group. However, there are several opportunities for attendees to write their own songs and share if desired.

Can I have a recording of the songs written in this group?  

Recordings will be made of each song written and sent via email to those who attended the group. Therefore, attendees can have a tangible recording of their finished product and further engage with the song for therapeutic benefit.
