What students are saying
“Taking Nate Shaffer's Contemplative Songwriting class was a life-changing experience for me. I had only just started to try songwriting when a friend recommended it, and I was intrigued but terrified! Nate made the environment very welcoming for people at all points in their songwriting journeys, and led the class with an openness that invited creativity […] I cannot imagine a world in which I did not take this class!”

"Nate does a great job facilitating songwriting and making it accessible to his students from day one. In three short weeks, I was able to produce three songs, collaborate with classmates and learn from their process, and create my own set of inspirations to keep producing songs after the class was over!"
— Payal, student in Summer 2020 & Winter 2021
"Nate's songwriting class was really valuable to me -- after taking it, I have several new ways to approach generating song starts, and a healthier relationship with my inner critic."
— June , student Fall 2020 & Winter 2021
”In addition to being a great instructor with a roster of thoughtful creativity-boosting exercises and techniques, Nate models healthy habits and approaches that any artist can integrate into their style. For me, Nate pushed my own song-writing towards a judgment-free, streamlined process rooted in playfulness and joy.”
—Arthur, student Summer 2020 & Winter 2021
