Saved by a Song: The Healing Art of Songwriting

This workshop is designed to help songwriters increase their overall understanding of the art and craft of songwriting. Mary has a hands-on approach that encourages songwriters to take risks, be brave, and dig deep. She believes that the redemptive power of music and song music and song can be conduits for personal growth, and alchemy. Mary will discuss her work with wounded veterans, frontline workers, flood survivors, and adoptees using music and song to help them (and her) to find agency and empathy around trauma. Foundational to Mary’s teaching is her belief that song and story can and should go beyond mere entertainment; they can bridge gaps between us, remind us of our common struggles and our collective aspirations, and help build a more compassionate world. Mary offers students valuable tools for their songwriting tool kits, knowing that the more tools a songwriter has, the better writer they will be. There will be short lectures, songwriting prompts, and Mary will also answer questions and provide feedback on students’ songs.
