2. Singer/Songwriter workshops

– Single workshop “Songwriting”:

During this workshop students get to know the basics of songwriting. They are going to write their own lyrics in groups, under the guidance of a professional singer/songwriter, who in recent years won numerous prizes with his own songs in leading songwriting contests in the UK and USA!
On the basis of sound examples of old and current pop hits, the basic theory of songwriting is teached. After which the students themselves form in groups to get started with writing their own lyrics! Eventually the whole song is presented to each other and each one will get feedback regarding the written text. Additionally the workshop leader can make suggestions for a melody line while improvising on chords.

Addressed among other things are: What makes a song popular? Where do you want to write about and what subjects are mostly used in hit songs? What tools are there for writing a song? What rhyme types can you use?

As a sequel to the workshop “songwriting” participants in this workshop learn how to add a melody line to your lyrics. We’ll experiment with different styles of contemporary music. We’ll use instruments present on the school itself, or on the basis of audio files which are delivered by the workshop leader (possibly already prior to the workshop).
