Come to the Songwriter’s Toolbox on the 4th Saturday morning of each month and learn more about songwriting! Attendance is free, although we will pass a “tip jar” around to honor our guest artist for coming. Everyone is welcome, so bring a friend.

The Songwriter’s Toolbox is like a mini-workshop, which includes learning from our guest artist and then getting constructive feedback for one of your songs. If you don’t have a song to share, you can still learn a lot by listening to a variety of songs written by your fellow songwriters and the suggestions for improving that song. If you’d like to bring a song, bring your instrument (a piano is available at the Lab) and at least 15 lyric sheets. We encourage everyone to write down their comments on them so that later, you can see your lyric sheets annotated with lots of good suggestions.

***********************************
The SAW Songwriter’s Toolbox is a monthly songwriting workshop series, held on the fourth Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted) from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the Lab at Convergence (unless otherwise noted). Convergence's address is 1819 N. Quaker Lane, Alexandria VA, at the intersection with Crestwood Drive. The Lab is a brick building facing Crestwood. It has no address on it, but 1781 Crestwood Drive pinpoints it in Google Maps. Directions: Take the Shirlington exit off of I-395 and follow the signs to Quaker Lane, then take the second left on Crestwood Drive. The Lab at Convergence is the first building on the left, and there’s a small parking lot to the side, as well as ample street parking. All parking is free.. Map: http://tinyurl.com/5wnz9g.

The Lab at Convergence is a facility that's part of the Convergence Church across the street, but SAW and the Songwriter’s Toolbox are unaffiliated with them or any religious group. The ambiance is secular, and the room is designed for performance. If you know people who would like to join us, please bring them along. Everyone is invited!

Date: Every fourth Saturday -- 10:00-12:30pm
Location: The Lab at Convergence, 1801 N. Quaker Lane, Alexandria, VA 22303
Price: Free and open to all
