The Woodlands Arts Council invites seniors to songwriting workshop Aug. 6

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Arts Council is continuing to build its Senior Art Program underwritten by David & Debbie Hilton, with many exciting plans in the works for the fall and spring. The next event related to the program is a free Community Songwriting Workshop with Grace Wright for seniors aged 65 and up.

The workshop will take place on Thursday, August 6, from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. at The Woodlands Arts Council, 9450 Grogans Mill Rd., Ste. 160.

"Write a song in community; together, in under 90 minutes, we will craft a brand new song using games, color, and fun musical activities," said TWAC representatives. "This workshop celebrates communal songwriting and singing. Forget perfection; we are celebrating the unique minds and voices in the room. We will leave with a song that is maybe a little silly, maybe a little funny, but entirely our own. All musical and creative skill levels are welcome."

Grace Wright is a music educator, songwriter, researcher, and writer with 18 years of experience teaching in Texas and New York City. She has a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies from UNT, and her creative practice extends into graphic design, art, and somatic movement.
