STG Education
STG is now accepting applications for the annual Young Songwriter’s Lab for musicians interested in honing their songwriting and lyricism skills. The five day July workshop for youth ages 14 – 22 at The Moore Theatre will incorporate lyrical tips and tools from leading Seattle songwriters, musicians, and hip-hop artists including Jill Wangsgard, Draze, Sue Ennis and more. The kids will be bestowed with creative approaches to lyric writing, music composition, music arrangement, melody, harmony, and music production and essential knowhow about the music industry. Songwriting students will receive tickets to selected shows at The Paramount and Moore Theatres to expand creative perspectives and experience the final product of the writing process. At the end of the summer training program there will be an informal performance at The Moore for friends and family. Financial scholarships to the lab are available so hop to it and get your application in soon. Check out the video of last year’s Young Songwriter’s Lab performance here.
