Kaleo Songwriter Workshops
Our songwriter workshops are crafted for upper elementary students to write and record an original song from scratch as a class. To get there, the workshop includes writing exercises, brainstorming topics, and group collaboration with a professional songwriter as their guide. Students learn how to write song lyrics, work together to put their words to music and experience the process of creating an original song. Through this process they develop their skills in creative writing, public speaking and teamwork. The songs are then performed or recorded at the end of the workshop.
