SONGWRITING for the SOUL
The Art & Craft of Writing Songs YOU Love
8 Sundays - 1 October thru 19 November on ZOOM
2:30-4:30 pm Eastern zone/USA (11:30am PT / 7:30pm UK)
* Do you long to write songs that you love, that seem to flow from your soul?
* Are you ready to expand and elevate your lyric & melody writing skills?
* Would you like to be part of a dedicated, supportive songwriting community?
This unique opportunity to receive the kind of support you've been wishing for - at a super reasonable price - is here for you! In this intimate and nurturing Zoom space (of no more than 12 people) - you will be guided and supported as you expand your skills and deepen your connection with the source of your creative inspiration.
Songwriting is both an art and a craft. You hear a phrase that sparkles. You catch a whisper of melody in the air. Your heart wants to dance with a song that is calling you to capture it in time and space. A song only your soul already knows. But to capture it, you must speak its language...and then translate its song into words and music. Without adequate skills for writing a compelling lyric or composing a memorable melody, the voice of the soul can remain unheard, unfelt.
And so, each must be nurtured. The art and the craft. This is the focus of Songwriting for the Soul.
In this immersive 8-week experience you will get practiced at the simple songwriting 'rules' employed in every hit song - and - how to creatively break them! Working as one cohesive group as well as in breakout rooms, you'll learn by doing - and by witnessing others doing. Each week the focus will be on different elements of the songwriting process, exploring examples of each and then engaging in hands-on exercises to apply the ideas. The 2nd part of each class will be specifically for giving and receiving feedback on your original songs or a work-in-progress. So you begin to instinctively understand what works or doesn't work, and where to go next with your ideas.
Topics include:
*writing compelling lyrics *composing catchy melodies & hooks *the power of a title *rhyme schemes *use of rhythm *composing melody to lyrics *writing lyrics & melody to a chord progression or beat *connecting with your creative source *collaboration skills & etiquette *the psychology of songwriting *how to copyright your songs *& more
In less than 2 months' time, you'll walk away with solid songwriting skills and a more direct connection with your own creative source. There is a private Facebook group & a WhatsApp Group for connecting with others during & beyond the class - to share your experiences and progress, post videos of your songs, ask questions and give/receive support.
In just 8 sessions, you'll discover how much these simple & practical songwriting practices will enable you to write the kinds of songs your soul wants to sing!

Singing isn't just for rock stars, divas or karaoke kings!
Singing is a universal way for human beings to connect in body-mind-spirit and to be fully present to the moment of now. Sound is vibration and consciousness, energy that we hear and feel. Even if we don't understand the language or lyrics, we know what a singer is feeling. And when a singer is fully present and able to feel, listeners are able to tune into how they feel, without (self) judgment or constraint. Singing is powerful vibration that heals.
“I want you to promise me that you will sing at least once each day. It will change everything. You cannot sing with a rotten disposition. And you cannot keep a rotten disposition when you sing….Happiness is the highest state of resonance … Singing connects the mind with the heart and the heart with the soul. So sing! I dare you!”
~ Neale Donald Walsch, “Happier Than God”

Deb has been a top Vocal Coach for over 30 years in both New York City & the Philadelphia/South Jersey area. Trained as a singer and a teacher by legendary Katie Agresta (NYC vocal coach to the stars) – Deb was head Assistant Teacher in Katie’s Upper West Side school for several years before opening her own studios in Manhattan and South Jersey. She has worked with singers of all styles and levels of experience, including Carole King, Tom Keifer (Cinderella) and other Indie & Major Label artists.
“Deb creates a very warm, fun, relaxing atmosphere for her students...she can immediately spot areas of tension in your body and help you improve upon them... Deb is an awesome voice teacher!” ~ Michael G., NYC
“I'd been studying voice with a string of "pros"… then I studied weekly with Deb for about 5 years… she helped me break through problem areas in my voice, opening me up to release my true instrument. I started to record and perform all over New York City. She was instrumental in giving me the confidence to go for my dream, and have the voice and chops to compete in the highly competitive music business.” ~ Ivy, singer-songwriter, NYC
“Deb has helped me more than any other vocal coach has in such a short period of time. The benefits of her coaching and exercises extend well beyond my singing and even music in general: not only have they given me the skill and confidence to become a better overall performer, but they have also functioned as exercises in mental discipline and emotional strength, not to mention physical stamina! Deb's extensive knowledge and experience combined with her friendly approach have made my vocal studies a joy rather than a job.” ~ Dina, Philadelphia, PA
“I've gone to other people/places to help me with my voice, but only Deb could get me out of my shell and within a year singing in front of people without being so stiff and nervous. Aside from that, I learned a tremendous amount dealing with vocal exercises, breathing and just plain being myself while singing. You won't find this much knowledge or heart in any other vocal coach!” ~Megan H., Nashville
“Deb Chamberlin is, by far, one of the best teachers I have ever had!....it is a pleasure to be in the presence of her positive spirit and her wonderful sense of humor.....her vast knowledge of how the voice works coupled with her unique and creative teaching methods makes even the most challenging lessons fun and productive!!!!!!” ~ Caryn Lin, electric violinist/recording artist, Willow Grove, PA
“If you are seeking instruction in the fundamentals of voice, Deb offers thorough and complete training. Before starting with Deb, I could not sing. Now, I sing several leads every set and a majority of the backing or harmony vocals. Deb will help you find your voice and you will enjoy the process as much as the results...” ~ Scot, drummer, Marlton, NJ
