Whether you're polishing lyrics or just getting the creative juices flowing, this drop-in event is all about creativity and good vibes. Bring your passion for songwriting. Everyone’s welcome—no pressure, just fun and music. Come hang out and connect with fellow songwriters in the community!
The Port Coquitlam Songwriters Group aims to support writers at all stages, from first-time participants to those continuing to develop their songwriting practice. The group remains in a drop-in format , and no previous experience or attendance is required.
Two optional creative pathways will be offered allowing participants to choose the approach that best fits where they are in their writing journey.
For first-time writers or those looking for structure, we will focus on writing with focus on our senses. Using guided prompts, participants will explore sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell as entry points into lyric writing.
For participants who are more experienced or curious about writing to music, the second pathway will explore writing lyrics to music without trying to make the words fit within the music. Writers may bring instrumental tracks, chord progressions, or simple melodies to share but otherwise we will have a few simple instrumental tracks to choose from. This exercise is one that we are hoping will be a organic no pressure way to let inspired lyrics flow.
The session will include:
- A check-in and
- Guided sensory-based writing exercises
- Time to write alongside music in an open, pressure-free way
- Optional sharing and supportive reflection
Sharing is always optional, and listening is considered full participation.
This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in experimenting with new approaches, deepening emotional connection in their writing, or simply creating in a supportive community space. All voices and experience levels are welcome.
