Songwriting Workshop

Featuring songwriters Ausdin Lemmons and Jess Littleton

This interactive songwriting workshop is designed to take songwriting out of theory and into practice—giving you the chance to watch the process unfold and then experience it yourself in a collaborative, guided environment.

We’ll begin with two experienced songwriters leading a live writing demonstration, walking through how they approach melody, lyrics, structure, and creative decision-making in real time. You’ll get an inside look at how songs actually come together—not just the finished product, but the messy, honest process behind it.

After the live demo, participants will break into small, pre-paired songwriting groups, intentionally formed based on skillsets, strengths, and experience levels. Each group will be supported by a songwriting coach who will help guide the process, offer feedback, and keep the session focused and productive. You’ll be given writing prompts and creative frameworks to help spark ideas, reduce creative pressure, and encourage collaboration, whether you’re primarily a lyricist, melody writer, or instrumentalist.

We’ll close the workshop by coming back together as a full group to reflect, share insights, and celebrate what was created—focusing on learning, growth, and community rather than performance.

This workshop is ideal for songwriters who want to learn by doing, collaborate with others, and gain practical tools they can take into future writing sessions—no matter where they are in their songwriting journey.
