Songwriting Workshops
Tuesday July 9th, (2.00 - 5.30pm)
Thursday July 11th (with performance) (2.00 - 5.30pm)
Songwriting is a powerful means of self-discovery, personal growth, and creative expression. Guided by Heidi who has written and released albums and singles herself, you will explore the art of songwriting.
You will be taking the songwriting process step by step and create at your own pace. What is even more exciting is you will be given the opportunity to perform your song on Wednesday afternoon!
We may have some hit songwriters in our midst!
Songwriting is so powerful and self expressive.
We want you to be given a creative outlet to express your thoughts, feelings, experiences with your voice, choice of words and melody.
Writing songs can serve as a therapeutic outlet, helping you process and cope with a wide range of emotions. It provides a constructive way to express joy, sadness, frustration, or any other emotions you may be experiencing.
And when you successfully create a song and bring it to life - Wow, it brings a real sense of accomplishment and with that of course follows a boost in confidence - a WIN!
Songwwriting encourages young people to trust in their ideas. It also deepens their understanding of music theory, composition, and arrangement.
