What participants have said about<\/h2>\n

Barbara L. Jordan Workshops…<\/h2>\n
\n

The most fun I\u2019ve had with my socks off.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Allowed me to exercise creative muscles I didn\u2019t know existed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The most lively, joyous and affirming workshop I\u2019ve ever attended. A mature and delightful depth to Barbara\u2019s presentation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Very innovative exercises. Great for triggering ideas and gaining access to the subconscious instead of \u201cwaiting for it to happen\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

I\u2019m usually inhibited, but these exercises made more than a few walls come tumbling down.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The workshop shed a new light on my writing. It allowed me to re-focus and re-evaluate why I write and it confirmed for me that there is a reason for instincts and that they can be followed. Whereas before, I too often had to \u201cwait for the muse\u201d to be on my shoulder, I now feel comfortable in \u201cinviting the muse to me\u201d!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"workshop03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Barbara is the quintessential workshop leader; very informative, succinct in presenting concepts and efficient in delivering the intangible in solid form. Her own enthusiasm for writing was channeled through her lessons.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Lively provocative workshop leader. She has the ability to get us through our barriers quickly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Very centered, grounded, vital energy. Kept me engaged the whole time. It reminded me that the important aspect of writing is the process, not just the end result.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Her exercises are terrific \u2013 she really knows how to bust through creative blocks and inhibitions, and compels one to stand and deliver. I had a great deal of fun and came away greatly inspired.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

She is a dynamic and exciting personality \u2013 held my interest and had good knowledge and information and activities and ideas to present.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Sparks turn into creative fire in her workshop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The exercises were amazingly imaginative, and they made me approach songwriting from a different angle.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Barbara\u2019s energetic, gets people going, and gives people an opportunity to take chances.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Very clear, very enthusiastic presentation. Her energy is infectious.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

It was great to start from \u201cSquare One\u201d with the thought process and then write a song in 20 minutes!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Barbara is a rare and gifted talent, teacher and human being.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

I had so much fun! Even though many of the exercises are simple, it does often taking something like this to get folks out of their heads.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Very clear and enthusiastic, charming. I could feel my creativity flowing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

I had already read the book and knew that the workshop would be great, but it was even better than I had expected. The exercises were fresh and very dynamic done in a group.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Incredible! I learned about certain approaches I never would have thought of, but most importantly, I wrote certain kinds of songs I have never written before. I really learned a whole lot more about myself as a writer, a performer, and as a person than I ever expected.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Barbara is wonderful in every way. The lady knows of what she speaks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Great information on everything I need! And great, wonderful practical information on lyric writing!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Barbara\u2019s approaches, suggestions, and exercises were amazingly imaginative.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

It allowed me to exercise creative muscles I didn\u2019t know existed. Barbara\u2019s presence, as well as her own expertise in songwriting, served as a source of energy and inspiration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Learned ways to write fast, brainstorm, how to \u201chave a conversation with the song\u2019 \u2013 all extremely helpful techniques.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Very different than any other songwriting technique \u2013 uplifting!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

My career has really gotten a kick in the ass because of the workshop. As this was the very first songwriting class I\u2019ve ever had, I have to say it surpassed any expectations I had. I haven\u2019t taken a class because I thought it would try to make me write songs in a formulaic way. The opposite is true. This was a truly a playground where writers can let go of the ties that bind them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
