GOT SONGS? Unfinished songs? Some not-quite-there-yet songs?

Want some valuable feedback? This might be just the thing you need to rethink your song.

Welcome to REWRITE class, the place where you are welcome to bring your broken, unfinished but hopeful songs and make them better.

A new perspective can really help. And one surefire way of getting that is by sharing your works-in-progress with other songwriters who are invested in you and your song. The people sitting around the table at this workshop will give you some great insight, ask questions, and propose strategies that you can take away.

Our hope is that everyone who attends will leave here energized and inspired to rework the songs they bring.

Each participant is invited to bring one or two songs each*, and prepare to share and talk about one another's songs. This is a great way to expedite the rewriting process.

*Please include chords and any additional notes/concerns you have directly on the page. You can bring a couple of extra copies to share, or we can make copies here.

We will meet in person at BMF, 333 Fishkill Ave.

Bring demo recordings (phone voice memo) to share or you also have the option to accompany yourself and sing us the song live in the room — whatever works for you!

Beacon’s Little Rockers Day Camp
Ages 7-10

Beacon Music Factory’s Little Rockers, a summer day camp where every day is filled with jam sessions, adventures, discoveries and fun. Campers aged 7 to 10 will be guided on the way of the stage in the world of rock ‘n’ roll. They will strum guitars, bang drums, tickle the ivories and sing their hearts out learning to groove together as a band—and even write a song!

It’s not all about the tunes. Campers will unwind and play in the wee woods (adjacent to bmf) and create flyers for their rock show as well as other fun camp activities. And when Friday comes, it’s showtime! Campers take the stage, rocking out to cheers and applause from adoring friends, family and fans.

Join us at BMF’s little rockers day camp, where every day is filled with musical adventures.

July 21-25, M-F, 8:30am - 2:30pm, with a break for lunch

Tuition: $400
