What’s it all about?

A lot of people would love to write songs, but don’t know how to start writing a tune, how to put all their ideas together, or how to finish a song. From the outside, it can seem like magic. In this workshop we’ll explore the songwriting process from inspiration to completion – you may even leave humming a new tune!

What we will cover?

Learn about the songwriting process, from inspiration to theory, practice and performance. We’ll cover the four main stages of creativity, identify how things flow and why writing blocks take place. If you’re stuck at the starting line or lost in the creative jungle, this class is for you.
