Songwriting for Music Educators

This week we want to highlight a fantastic resource created by some amazing songwriting educators.

1. Songwriting for Music Educators (SFME)

I cannot recommend this platform enough. Founded by Sarah Gulish and Kat Reinhert, Songwriting for Music Educators was born from a simple but radical idea: music teachers should be allowed (and encouraged!) to be songwriters, too.

Too often, we are trained to teach the music of others while our own creative muscles atrophy. SFME offers courses, books, and a community designed to help you reconnect with your inner artist.

2. Upcoming Workshop: Quick Songwriting Masterclass

Registration: Sign Up Here (Free!) When: February 2, 2026 | 4:00-5:00 PM EST

Speaking of Kat Reinhert (one of the brilliant minds behind SFME), she is leading a free virtual masterclass hosted by Music Will next month.

Here is the description from Music Will:

Join Music Will for an exclusive virtual masterclass with Kat Reinhert, one of today’s most exciting and influential songwriters.

Designed especially for young musicians, creatives, and classrooms, this session breaks down songwriting into simple, approachable steps that anyone can try—whether you’ve written hundreds of songs or are just getting started.
