Up to 8 children per group write an original song from scratch over 3 hours.  The beginner, intermediate and advanced songwriter groups have tailored programmes.  Key elements of these workshops include an overview of different song structures and genres; fun exercises to create & develop lyrical ideas, exercises to improvise melodies on different chord progressions, understanding rhythms & creating instrumental parts.

In small groups of 4 children each child writes an original song from scratch.  Beginner, intermediate and advanced young songwriters are in separate groups.  The workshop has a mixture of group songwriting exercises and one to one time with the Song Academy leader to help develop each participant’s lyrics, melodies & composition. The 6 hour workshops over 3 days look at recording/production using Soundtrap on the 3rd day.
