Free Songwriting Tips! Songwriter's Tip Jar is a free, reliable way for songwriters to meet. We exchange ideas, tips, anecdotes and advice. We also critique, teach and motivate each other, as well as explore, collaborate and have fun.

We created STJ out of a love of music (creating it, playing it and listening to it) and a real respect and admiration for songwriters, lyricists and performing musicians. This group is our way of giving back to the community. We do it all at no cost to you: no sign-up fee, no dues, no committment, no pressure.

We offer three easy ways to get started. Try them all:
