Songwriter's Workshop
Next Session March 4

Jon Rounds, Jerry Breese, and Bruce Truitt (The Guitar Brothers) will facilitate a 6-session Songwriters Workshop every other Saturday, beginning February 18! Whether you’ve written many songs or are just starting out, you should find this workshop a valuable experience.

  • Participation is limited to 8 writers- ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!
  • $210 total if you sign up for the whole workshop ($35/session)
  • Single sessions are $40 each (only if space is available) you must contact 3 Dots before the session you'd like to attend

The heart of the workshop is that song writers structure feedback they get from the other writers and the facilitators. So, as a participant you will be both performer and listener.

This is a chance to work with experienced writers and performers. You can bring half-done songs, ones that need some polish, or songs you just want to try out on an interested audience.
