Event Details

Level: Open

Songwriting can seem like an arcane art, but if we approach it with an improvisational attitude, we can demystify the process and have fun doing it! This workshop will take you through the nuts and bolts of writing song lyrics, with an emphasis on setting aside your inner critic and using your improv brain. Come away with a solidified process for getting your songs down on the page. There’s no need to be afraid of writing a song ever again!

Min. participants 6, max. 12. If we have to cancel the event due to low numbers, we will do this with 24 hours notice.

This open elective runs Sunday 14th February, 3 -59.30 pm GMT

Open – A class for anyone, regardless of their improv experience. Although more experienced players are of course welcome, the content does not require any prior improv knowledge.

NB: Our electives frequently sell out, but do not despair if this class has. You have not missed your shot. If enough people join the waiting list, we are often able to put the same class on a few days after or in parallel. So if you were excited, join up and we will be in touch.

Time

(Sunday) 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
