Residential Songwriting Workshop with helen Chadwick and Helen Porter

 

This course will feature daily group sessions to explore melody, harmony, accompaniment, rhythm and lyrics. You will try creating songs in different genres, and there will be plenty of time for solo and small group work and some individual coaching, including performance where desired. Bring texts for songs that inspire you or which you have written/half-written as well as something to record and play back your musical ideas (for example a smartphone and/or MP3 player). The course is aimed at those with some experience of songwriting or for experienced writers who want to expand their range. Please send examples of two songs you have composed as MP3 files to totleighbarton@arvon.org.
