About SONGSHOP
SongShop, a hands-on workshop, offers theatre and music
students, amateurs and professionals, the opportunity to
strengthen and deepen how we approach, interpret, and
communicate meaning in a song.
SongShop is open to all singers and takes place Tuesday
evenings at DePaul School of Music and Saturday afternoons
in Hyde Park. Find yourself in song at a place that feels like
home.
