On Saturday, March 1, from 11 AM until 1 PM, 826 Valencia will co-host a workshop with the long-running Noise Pop Music Festival. Any middle- or high-school student interested in learning about the creative process behind songwriting and how to channel that understanding into effective writing about music should plan to attend. We will introduce you to a group of esteemed, award-winning music writers from magazines like Rolling Stone, Spin, Vibe and the San Francisco Chronicle and a group of local musicians who are ready to have their music heard and discussed live, and in-person.

Free pizza and pop for all, and the chance to hear some good music, meet some writers, and develop better interpretive skills.

The workshop will be moderated by 826 instructors Andrew Strickman and Blake Robin.

Note: This event will be held at Noe Valley Ministry, located at 1021 Sanchez Street.
