RSA empowers young people to write their own success stories.
What is the Rebel Song Academy?
Our Rebel Song Academy deconstructs the entire creative process through songwriting, instilling transferable skills and mental health principles to help young artists discover the vital mindset needed for success in the real world.
Rebel Song Academy
Tuesdays, 6–8 PM | Sept. 8–Dec. 8
Ages 13–20
Our regular RSA program is for young musicians who sing, play an instrument, produce, or make music regularly and want to dive deeper.
Students will work collaboratively to develop their songwriting and music-making skills while creating their own original music.
No prior songwriting experience is required!
Rebel Song Academy: Launch
Wednesdays, 6–8 PM | Sept. 9–Dec. 9

Launch is our new RSA offering designed specifically for younger musicians who are interested in exploring original songwriting and music creation.
Students will learn the foundations of songwriting in a supportive, collaborative environment while developing their own ideas and creative voice.

Whether you’re already making music or you’re just curious about songwriting and want to explore it further, there’s a place for you at RSA.
Tailored to fit your needs.
Our curriculum is made up of 12 unique modules. Each module has a transferable real-world skill and mental health principle intertwined with the musical lesson. For example, week #3, “Ready, Set, Write!” is a lesson on design thinking, goal setting and anticipating challenges.
