Youth Songwriting Workshop
Work together to write an original song!
This program is intended for youth ages 9-15. Children under 10 must be accompanied by a caregiver. Instruments not provided, but bring one from home if you wish!
Attendees will co-create an original song (or two) in a welcoming, fun, all-hands-on-deck songwriting process. Geared towards ages 9-15, all skill levels and abilities are wanted. Do you sing in the shower? Know some guitar riffs? Play piano like Mariah Carey? We’ll make room for you, even if you’re at the very beginning of your musical journey.
Attendees are encouraged to read the library’s Youth A Novel Idea selection, Hope in the Valley, by Matali Perkins before the workshop. This is not required however, so please join if at all interested!
About the Instructor: Ian Carrick is a songwriter, K-8 music teacher, and community builder who loves helping young people find their voice and creatively express themselves. In his free time, Ian loves to play fiddle and hang out with his two kiddos.
