What if you could write a song in just one hour? In this creative workshop led by Carrie Day, we'll learn how songs are built, then put those ideas into action as we write an original song together as a group.

Kids will explore melody, lyrics, and rhythm while discovering how their ideas can become music. No experience necessary—everyone is welcome. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to create! This program has a maximum of 20 participants. Jubilee Arts brings creativity beyond the stage and into the heart of the community. Through pop-ups, workshops, and local partnerships, we deliver hands-on arts experiences across Alberta. Join us throughout EPL's Summer Reading Fest as we feature local artists for fun and exciting workshops!
