Free Live Zoom Workshop with Chad Shank

Are your melodies living up to your lyrics?
Join songwriter and recording artist Chad Shank for a free live Zoom workshop designed especially for lyric-first writers who want to strengthen their melodic instincts. In this 90-minute session, we will explore the relationship between lyrics and melody, and how the rhythm, phrasing, and emotion of your words can naturally lead to stronger melodic ideas. You will learn practical techniques that help your songs sing better, not just read better.
This is the first in a new series of free monthly songwriting workshops, open to beginners, hobbyists, and indie writers who want to reconnect with the joy of making music while improving their craft. You will leave inspired, with fresh tools you can apply immediately in your own writing sessions.
RSVP and pre-registration are required. A free Zoom account is needed to attend. Once registered, you will receive the private link to join live.
