Docsong

Documentary Songwriting connects musicians with people to transform personal stories into songs that build empathy, connection, and a shared sense of humanity. Documentary Songwriters (DocSong) trains Teaching Artists in the Documentary Songwriting Method and supports these teaching artists in their completion of various projects with organizations worldwide. Our Teaching Artists have used Documentary Songwriting to enhance understanding between Turkish and Greek Cypriots, to tell the stories of refugees from the Middle East seeking asylum in the Netherlands, to tell women’s #MeToo stories, and to write lullabies with marginalized mothers as part of the Lullaby Project at Carnegie Hall. Our projects have been featured on TEDx and on NPR’s Morning Edition.
