The Songwriting Sessions and Master Class are back!!
We’re thrilled to share that Soldier Songs & Voices’ Master Class and Songwriting Sessions are back at 5:00 PM Central Time! These free, weekly gatherings bring together veterans and active-duty service members (plus allies) to polish lyrics, craft melodies, and share stories in a supportive community. You’ll learn from guest instructors, swap feedback with fellow songwriters, and lean into the healing power of music. We’ll meet in our usual space (online via Zoom – link below), so grab your notebook, your guitar, and your creative spirit.
See you Monday!
May Schedule

Last month we kicked off something new
We liked what the vets in Texas were doing with having a song prompt that lasts for the whole month. It gave a little direction to where folks were headed, without being overly programmatic or structured.
So we introduced Themes.
For the month of May, we're celebrating Masters, in particular the Canadian master songwriter Neil Young. Consider his body of work and if it has influenced you, enjoy exploring it. Thanks to Robert for suggesting this one.
Perhaps learn one of his songs to share, or try writing a song that reflects his style or impact.
Future Themes we're envisioning include Masters (great writers), How Stuff Works (how to, from technique to transposition), Play It Like You Mean It (performance), Song Craft.
So, give it a try. Or do what you usually do. We'll have some encouraging words, but no song police will be on duty.
Coming up:
We'll be on Zoom June 1 and 8 and at Artichoke Community Music on June 15. Save the dates!
And don't forget the weekly session with our partners, Warrior Beats on Wednesdays at 6 PST:
