Welcome to the Studio! Here's some prompts to introduce yourself with: 1) Who are you and where you're from. 2) What has you interested in learning music. 3) What you're most excited about in your creative journey. Looking forward to seeing what everyone has to share!

Hey everyone 👋. This month we’re starting with one of the most powerful sources of purpose: pain. 💡 Challenge: Reflect on a struggle you’ve faced and create a song (or draft/lyrics/idea) that transforms it into something meaningful. This isn’t about glorifying suffering, it’s about taking something painful that we’ve gone through and turning it into something that heals, connects, or inspires. We’ll explore this together in our Monday calls: - Sept 1 → Kickoff & Discussion (A conversation and shared reflection on struggles we’ve faced) - Sept 8 → Share Drafts for Feedback - Sept 15 → Share Refined Drafts for Feedback - Sept 22 → Share Final Products - Sept 29 (Extra Monday) → 🎉 Listening Party!! Reflection questions to get started: - What struggle has shaped you and your life most? - If you could alleviate your past self of a singular pain, what would it be? - How might you be able to use your past pain to help someone else feel less alone? Let us know what comes up for you!
