Students will contribute to writing their own song, and most importantly gain confidence in their own creativity. By the end of the class, they will have finished a first draft of their song. (This may be a verse and a chorus, or a more complete song structure, but either way they should be on their way to a full song!)

I have been writing my own songs on the guitar for over fifteen years, and currently record music as a singer-songwriter under the alias Folklaur. I have gained a lot myself from songwriting workshops with some of my favorite musicians, and do my best to keep up to date on ideas for creative exercises. Most importantly, I have a love for children and teaching. I have experience working at a bilingual preschool in France, as well as multiple summers as a summer camp program director where I led daily singalongs on the guitar for young children.
