Songwriting Class Fall 2026 (10 weeks)
Each week, we’ll meet and you'll be treated to song examples to consider, song structures to puzzle over, a few new ways of looking at songs you already know and love and then, most importantly, you will be given a multi-layered songwriting assignment.
Beginning Fiddle Workshop
We will learn some tunes and see how they are built from simple phrases, chords and scales.
Recording Lab Fall 2026: Track and Mix a Band
Recording Labs: Track and Mix a Band!
In this hands-on lab, you'll record a song performed by a band from start to finish: setting up mics, getting sounds, and capturing the performance, then running overdubs and editing the takes into a mix-ready session. From there, we'll get into mixing (gain staging, EQ, compression, and effects) and how they work together to serve the song. Each participant will create their own mix of the track and get feedback. Whether you want to understand what actually happens in a session or get better at recording your own music, it's a great way to build real experience alongside other musicians.
The lab meets for five Sundays, 11am–1:30pm, from November 15 through December 20 (no lab November 29), with mastering engineer Matthew Agoglia, whose credits include Emmylou Harris, James Taylor, and Divine Fits.
