Songwriting With Monty Harper

Monty works with 2nd-5th grade students to create and perform original songs. In person or online, whether in a one-hour workshop, a one-day-a-week after-school songwriting club, or a two-week in-school residency, Monty will work with your students to create amazing songs and lasting memories. Students learn lyric-writing and composition concepts and practice collaboration and performance skills.
