An Online Community for Singer Songwriters

10 weeks, 10 songs

Imagine writing an album worth of new songs that are ready to record, perform, and LOVE! 

Are you a singer-songwriter who would benefit from community, motivation, accountability, and creative prompts? Are you an artist who enjoys sharing and collaborating with others?

The Studio Songwriter’s 10 weeks, 10 songs is an online songwriting challenge for artists who want to hone their craft, in process with others. Best part is that it’s totally free.

Limited space

Lots of smiles from participants in the summer 2023 songwriting challenge.

Format and Guidelines

  • Weekly creative prompts
  • Weekly Show and Tell Zoom meetings
  • If prompt inspires something else, that’s ok
  • No fancy recording required – phone is perfect
  • All skill levels are welcome in our diverse community
  • Enjoy accountability, feedback, and member collaboration

  • Utilize the group as a safe and supportive environment for navigating the creative process
  • Naming and discussing obstacles can be freeing and help overcome creative blocks

β€œMy wife has been my musical monitor, and my sister is a musician as well, so I’ve had some great sounding boards -- but the consensus is the weekly deadline is fantastic. It has kept my feet to the fire.”
