You will learn more about the Day of the Dead and how to create traditional Mexican masks found at the celebration.</p> <p>This workshop is best suited for youth ages 7 and up, but children 5 or younger can participate with adult assistance.</p> <p>This workshop is free. Please make sure to wear clothes which can get dirty as we will be using paint and other materials which can damage clothing.</p> <p><strong>No tickets are needed for the HopStop events. All are welcome.

Songwriting Workshop with Myra Flynn

<div class="ai1ec-event-avatar alignleft timely"><img src="https://www.wcc-ma.org/wp-content/uploads/4296_image-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" /></div><div style="margin-top: 20px;"> <div style="margin: 20px 10px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;"> <p>Join us for a songwriting workshop with Myra Flynn, ideal for preteens through adults. This writing workshop doesn’t require any music experience or training, but you are welcome to bring an instrument.</p> <p>Suggested contribution*: Adults $25, Students $10</p> <p>*Pay what you can, WCCMA is committed to keeping programs accessible for all</p> <p>Singer/songwriter Myra Flynn spends her career embracing dichotomy. Half Irish and half African American, her original indie/soul songs blend soulful vocals with a lyrical delivery that doesn’t let one get too comfortable. As the New England Deli Magazine puts it, “Her vocal influences have as much in common with Ani Difranco and Shawn Colvin as they do with Rihanna and Jill Scott.”</p> <p>Myra is a lyrical storyteller, who uses her voice to empower, inspire, and even educate. She fearlessly tackles topics that others shy away from in both her music and in her journalism career. She says that motherhood has left her no more time to be self conscious and there is no room for shyness. She finds a new strength, independence and inspiration in her daughter, Avalon, and her husband Phil. Myra is a singer, songwriter, journalist, advocate, ally, mother, wife – and always, unapologetically, human.</p> <p><a title="https://www.myraflynn.com" href="https://www.myraflynn.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-msys-clicktrack="0">https://www.myraflynn.com</a></p> </div> </div> <p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/songwriting-workshop-with-myra-flynn-tickets-1031487917127">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/songwriting-workshop-with-myra-flynn-tickets-1031487917127</a>.</p>America/New_York2024-10-25T16:00:00en-USEducation,MusicWest Claremont Center for Music and the Arts; https://www.eventbrite.com/o/west-claremont-center-for-music-and-the-arts-10648461080+43.372609-72.337334Claremont Creative Center @ 56 Opera House Square, Claremont, NH 037430https://www.wcc-ma.org/event/songwriting-workshop-with-myra-flynn/externalthumbnail;https://www.wcc-ma.org/wp-content/uploads/4296_image-150x150.jpg;150;150;1,medium;https://www.wcc-ma.org/wp-content/uploads/4296_image-300x200.jpg;300;200;1,large;https://www.wcc-ma.org/wp-content/uploads/4296_image-1024x683.jpg;584;390;1,full;https://www.wcc-ma.org/wp-content/uploads/4296_image-scaled.jpg;2560;1707;https://www.eventbrite.com/e/songwriting-workshop-with-myra-flynn-tickets-10314879171271ai1ec-4324@www.wcc-ma.org2026-08-19T08:03:18Z
