Would you like to write your own songs? Ever wondered how the pros write hit songs? Don’t know where to start? This workshop is for YOU!

There are many approaches to songwriting, and although there is no definitive way to do it, there are many techniques, tips and tricks to explore. The songwriting workshop mainly focuses on lyrics, phrasing, rhythm and structure.

There are many aspects that can help you with writing songs, a few of which will look at in this Songwriting Workshop. If you have attended on of these workshops before you will be aware of the vast amount of approaches that can be taken to improve your songs and songwriting ability. In this particular workshop we will be highlighting two main aspects of songwriting: creating a bigger, better or more powerful delivery of the meaning in your songs and also developing ideas in your songs. If you have already written any songs or idea for songs, feel free to bring them along.

Aimed at all levels.  No instrument necessary.  Bring a notebook and pencil.

Performing as part of a vocalist/instrumentalist duo can provide a wealth of experience and skills that can see you entertaining crowds and even getting paid for what you love to do. 

This workshop is an introduction to playing in a duo and will give you a taste for what it is like. You will meet like-minded people who are interested in collaborating with you – Who knows? You might get onto something really special.

This workshop will welcome strictly six vocalists and six pianists/guitarists (first in, best dressed!). You will be asked to learn six songs ahead of the workshop. When you arrive at the workshop, each vocalist will be paired with their own pianist/guitarist and you will move off into individual rooms to jam on the songs. You will choose your favourite of the six songs and perform the song to the rest of the group in the second half of the workshop. Your duo will have the assistance of a coach who will come around to each duo individually and offer feedback and advice. It is encouraged that if you enjoy the experience of collaborating with your partner that you meet up and continue jamming in your own time!

Because of the nature of this workshop, registrations will close on Friday the 2nd of August.

This is so you have enough time to feel prepared with the following songs.

A special note for the guitarists in attendance –Please make sure you have a capo with you on the day.

Songs to learn prior to the workshop:

• All Of Me – John Legend
• Losing My Religion – R.E.M
• Skinny Love – Birdy
• Ain’t No Sunshine – Bill Withers
• Royals – Lorde
• Valerie – Amy Winehouse
