“Abby curates a very supportive group of songwriters for her workshops, creating an encouraging environment in which to write songs. The sessions are tailored to the individuals participating and have an organic and lively energy, allowing for creativity to flourish. Each songwriter is given the space to create at their own pace, while also getting weekly feedback and tips for how to develop their songs. It’s a great opportunity and a lot of fun!” (Carolyn C.)
