Discover your voice and share your story at our week-long Songwriting Lab at MacPhail! Designed for students 14 to 19, this program provides an inspiring and supportive environment to explore the art of songwriting.
Participants will learn techniques for creating melodies, crafting lyrics, working with chord progressions, song form and rhythm while developing their unique musical style. Through interactive discussions, collaboration, and one-on-one mentoring with experienced songwriters, students will refine their songs and bring them to life. The camp wraps up with a live performance where participants share their original creations.
All levels and musical backgrounds are welcome—join us to write, create, and connect through music!

Required Materials
  • Notebook: Be sure to bring a notebook or have some other way to save your ideas.
  • Instrument: Songwriters are encouraged to bring their acoustic or electric instruments to camp, along with any accessories (camp, tuner, strap, etc.). MacPhail will have pianos and keyboards for students to use.
  • DAW (Digital Audio Workstation): Songwriters may also bring an iPad, Chromebook or laptop with DAW installed (i.e., Logic Pro, Garage Band, Abelton, Live, Bandlab, Soundtrap, etc.).
