Upcoming Events

We've got a few fun and free workshops coming up in January at the Monroe County Public Library!

Thursday January 15th (5:30-6:30pm) will be Riff Off! With Grace Elmer:

Join Grace Elmer for a fun, hands-on workshop exploring the riff—the unforgettable hook at the heart of rock music. Through listening, rhythm, and performance activities, children will learn how riffs are built, and how they give songs their energy and identity. Participants will collaborate to write and perform their own original riffs in a high-energy jam session. No previous experience is needed.

Thursday January 29th (5:30-6:30pm) will be Soft Skills and Songwriting with Lazuli Davis:

In this workshop, we'll work together to explore the components of songwriting using our emotions and intuitions—or gut feelings—toward music. We'll also develop ways to talk about songs without jargon or specialized language (or in a beginner-friendly way). Instead, we'll focus on the feelings that music inspires, and to make songwriting more approachable and playful. No previous experience is necessary.

Please note that both of these workshops were taught at camp last year, previous campers are more than welcome if they don't mind a repeat!
