Songwriting Retreat

Ended Apr 14, 2024

Full course description

Our Songwriting Retreat will take place April 12-13, 2024 on the campus of Asbury Theological Seminary in the Music Area located in the basement of the Beeson Center.  This Retreat will be focused on inviting God into the writing process regardless of whether we are writing Worship/Christian songs or more secular pieces.  We will spend time learning from Kylie McCormick, writing, and sharing our songs.  Lunch will be provided on Saturday.

This year we are excited to add yet another aspect to our Songwriting Retreats - a day set aside to record the songs we make.  You will be able to sign up for time slots to record the songs made/workshopped during the retreat on April 27th starting at 12:00 pm (noon) in McKenna Chapel at Asbury Seminary.
