Chicago Voices
Student Songwriting Workshop

The Chicago Voices team is in search of the next generation of aspiring songwriters! Motivated students, grades 9-12, are encouraged to apply to the Chicago Voices Student Songwriting Workshop – a free, week-long intensive songwriting workshop, culminating with recording time in a professional studio.


The Chicago Voices Student Songwriting Workshop offered a selective group of nine high school students an incredible opportunity to hone their songwriting skills and strengthen their performance artistry. In only 12 hours (over the course of one week), these talented songwriters crafted a new original song, collaborated with each other, and recorded their work in a professional studio.

We invite you to sit back, relax, and listen to these future Chicago Voices.
