Lyric Lab Songwriting

Ages: 5 - 12
Session Length: 15 Weeks
Skill Level: Beginner and Up

lyric-lab-songwriting

This fun and creative group class invites young musicians to write their own songs and sing them together in a choir-style setting.

Students begin with lighthearted, playful group songs to build confidence and collaboration, then gradually explore deeper social–emotional themes as they grow more comfortable expressing themselves through music. Depending on age, the class may be structured with or without parent participation. Each semester concludes with a performance showcasing the group’s original songs, and students will also have the opportunity to record their music so they can enjoy and share their creations outside of class.

Age Ranges:

  • *Thursdays at 4:00 pm, ages 5 - 9
  • Thursdays at 5:00 pm, ages 10 - 12
  • Saturdays at 10:00 am, ages 5 - 9
  • Saturdays at 11:00 am, ages 10 - 12

*Students enrolled in full-day preschool at The Music Settlement can be walked over to the Thursday 4:00 pm class. Preschool students can be dismissed for the day from class or returned to their classroom to finish the normal school day.

If this is your first enrollment of the school year in the Center for Music (September – June), a non-refundable registration fee is due at the time of enrollment ($35 for a single registrant, with a cap of $50 per family).

Registration for the 2026 - 2027 school year will open on June 1, 2026.
