Art is created from personal experience. Learn how to turn your stories into music during the Story to Song Virtual Workshop, led by local musician Marieke Slovin.

Marieke is co-developer of a songwriting method called Story-to-Song, wherein a person is invited to share a story from their life and move through the creative process of shaping their story into a song. A ukulele is perfect for this event but any instrument is welcome!

You can purchase Marieke’s book, “On the Move: Poems and Songs of Migration,” in-store at Bookmans Phoenix. “On the Move” contains songs written by refugees and asylum seekers during Marieke’s time teaching this workshop in Brussels, Belgium.

RSVP to PhoenixEvents@bookmans.com for your Zoom link to the virtual workshop.
