## Description

In July of 2020, Kat & Sarah met every week with a group of music educators for one purpose: explore personal and educational songwriting experiences.

Those four weeks were transformative and deeply connective. Simultaneously, the experience highlighted something they had felt as songwriting educators: there aren’t enough resources for music educators looking to work on songwriting practices. While resources are abundant for learning songwriting, many music educators do not avail themselves of them because they do not view themselves as songwriters. In this text, we hope to change some of those ideas.

This text’s purpose is twofold: 1) to provide practical strategies for musicians seeking to begin or enhance their creative songwriting practice AND 2) to connect educators to studio and classroom practices that can transform curricula.

There are fantastic resources on songwriting and creativity, and we share many of these at the end of this book. This text is not meant to replace or restate work that has already been done. Instead, the hope is that this book will fill a much-needed space in connecting educators to their creative selves through these resources, stories, and areas for reflection.

## Customer reviews

> This book is exactly what I needed. I have learned/taught so much as a music teacher but I never actually learned how to write songs (and that's one thing I am constantly asked about by my students). This book isn't just a how-to guide. It starts by having you reflect on your experiences. You may be tempted to skip over the reflection chapter but don't do it!! This book helped me get over my fear of songwriting and shame about not knowing how to do so. I am well on my way to writing my first song and I can't wait to do so with my students next.
