Become a DocSong teaching artist!

DocSong connects musicians with people to transform their personal stories into songs that build empathy, connection, and a shared sense of humanity.

In this training, participants will learn the the art of documentary songwriting, a step-by-step method of collaborative songwriting. It allows anyone, regardless of musical ability, to transform a personal story into an enduring song.

Documentary Songwriting has been used to enhance understanding between Turkish and Greek Cypriots, to share the stories of Middle Eastern refugees, and to honor women’s #MeToo stories. Our projects have been featured on TEDx and on NPR’s Morning Edition.
