What

For the song writing workshop, these two professional songwriters will work with the class of all ages, with individuals or familes working together for 2 one-hour sessions to write a complete song. At the end of the workshop, the kids will receive a professional recording of their song and may have the opportunity to perform it at a live or virtual concert, as circumstances permit. The songwriting workshops will take place like on Monday, December 28 and Wednesday, December 30, both at 7 pm. On Valentine's Day weekend a 45 minute concert will be held virtually that will include the group song written in class. The theme of the song will be related to love and family.Cheryl Toth remarked, "We are now offering our songwriting programs in a virtual format, giving children and adults the opportunity to connect, share, and create during these times of social distancing.
