3-Day Songwriting Challenge
Jump start your creativity and finish writing three new songs in three days alongside a global community of music makers.
Schedule
Here’s what’s happening each day of the 3-Day Songwriting Challenge.
Join the live mini-workshop, get your lyric writing prompt and head off to write your song for the day.
Today’s session focuses on melody, so make sure you log into the workshop ready to write!
On the final day our focus is on putting it all together through the lens of chords and structure.
Share your song with the community and let’s celebrate the amazing music you’ve created.

Here's what artists like you are saying...
I hope you guys do more of these! I'm so grateful for the inspiration.
Not only does this company bring together outstanding professional musicians, but those musicians are also truly gifted educators. As a music professor who teaches hundreds of students every year, I was deeply impressed by Musiversal's professionalism, creativity, and inspiring approach to everything they do. Bravo!
Amazing what they conveyed in 20 minutes. A lesson for everyone in education.
Holy shit did I learn a lot about arranging from the prompt. The song wound up in a completely different (better) place because of trying all the alternative bass lines. Thank you so much for this workshop.
