Facilitator
Drawing on 15 years of songwriting experience, I facilitate songwriting courses and offer one-on-one songwriting consultations for beginning, intermediate and advanced songwriters. The courses range from a one-day intensive (via zoom or in person) to my five-week online course, Finding Your Feral. All courses are offered on a sliding scale and the option to pay in installments is always available. If you’re interested in a one-on-one consultation, reach out to me at lilablueofficial@gmail.com. And if you want to be notified about workshop offerings as they go live, fill out the form(s) below!
Finding Your Feral
Finding Your Feral is a 5-week online course for songwriters/performers who are looking to let go of the rigidity that can come with classical/standard songwriting techniques, for the self-taught writers who feel stuck in their usual prompts/exercises, and any performer/singer-songwriter who’s looking to discover their instinctual voice and get a little wild while doing it!
We will meet once a week virtually, exploring different creative prompts/tools I’ve developed and learned over my fifteen years as a self-taught professional songwriter, as well as somatic practices I’ve learned to apply prior to writing & performing to let one’s feral flag fly! We will also spend a portion of the class listening and analyzing our own generated material each week (two students per class), as well as giving you long-lasting tools that you will learn to apply on your own through assigned weekly prompts.
You will be asked to share your generated materials from the at-home portion of the class each week prior to class via a Google Drive folder. Additionally, you will have the ability to schedule an hour long one-on-one session with me throughout the five weeks to explore a topic/prompt, a song you’ve been wanting feedback on, or anything else you might be wanting support with.
This course is for songwriters/musicians with an intermediate to advanced skill set. If you have never written a song before, or have just begun to dip your toes into the act of songwriting, my beginner songwriting intensives or one-on-one consultations would be a better fit.

Beginner Songwriting Intensive
If you’ve always wanted to try out songwriting but felt like you didn’t know where to start, or have been writing songs for a while but feel like you’d love an experimental angle on the building blocks, these one-day intensives are the course for you. As an award-winning songwriter of nearly two decades, I invite you to spend a three-hour session with me breaking down the basics of songwriting through accessible but invigorating prompts, group & solo work as well as listening and analysis of material that showcases what it means to make a song, and a good one at that.
