Reyna is an extremely welcoming person and incredibly supportive of people's aspirations. Anybody that's trying to create something is always nervous about whether there's a place for it in the world, and Reyna always makes a place for it. ~S.B.

It was such a joy participating in Reyna’s songwriting workshop last weekend. I admire her insight on songwriting and thoroughly enjoyed her music. Reyna writes so eloquently, with intentional words and melodies and I can't wait to hear more of her music! Also, hearing the songs and stories from other participants was such a treat. I love how music connects people together so instantly like this. Thank you, Reyna for sharing your gifts with us.
This was my first experience taking a workshop, and I can see how much value they bring to songwriters and communities. I look forward to performing in the Earlville Opera House Songwriter Showcase alongside the others! ~K.C.

I want to thank Reyna and express my pleasure with her workshops.
The two biggest takeaways for me are:
1) People listen to live music not for perfection, but for the feelings and emotions it delivers. This has allowed me more freedom to participate and to collaborate without feelings of inadequacy or incompetence. My guitar skills are basic, but I keep progressing and find pleasure in writing, playing and singing music.
2) People at different levels of playing ability can still collaborate effectively. People have different strengths and can complement each other through cooperation. I’m hoping to turn our next session into an opportunity to reach out more to share and collaborate with other participants.
Reyna's workshops are exactly the kind that should be available at the Earlville Opera House. I hope to participate in others. ~D.S.

Participation in Reyna's workshops have inspired me to think outside the box with the helpful and creative exercises she offers. I truly enjoy the open, safe place she provides for all of us to share as well as her beautiful music. Thank you!

Reyna will do everything in her power to help you write your song and successfully share it with others. I look forward to her workshops each fall and truly enjoy her writing exercises, editing tips, the group collaboration she inspires, as well as the opportunity to perform in the Earlville Opera House Showcase that she coordinates so well. ~J.O.
