This song writing workshop invites creatives – from beginners through to the more advanced – interested in engaging with experienced songwriters to improve their techniques. The workshop will cover the methods of melody making, rhythm, dynamics, and expression – and participants will be invited to contribute to writing meaningful lyrics.
Participants are asked to bring writing materials – pen and paper or a device if they prefer – and are also encouraged to bring acoustic instruments. Some basic instruments will be supplied.
This session is designed for anyone interested in songwriting, from beginners to those with some experience, aged 18+.
Tickets – $30; $20 for GRLC Members; $10 Concession.
