Songwriting Masterclass

Songs are everywhere; radio, television, movies, in the cradle, in the pub and in the shower. They say things we want to say, make us feel the way we want to feel and help define who we are, so it’s not surprising that so many of us write songs. The lucky ones make a living from it but most do it simply to connect with our fellow travellers.

So whether you’re curious and don’t quite know where to start or you’re already a songwriter and you’d like to find a new direction, join us for this one-day songwriting master class. Share the experiences of lifetime singer songwriter Jim Cozens and the extraordinarily talented writer and performer; Eva Perrin Fontana. Learn the tricks of the trade and create songs that will illuminate, fulfil and entertain.

Topics include:

• Motivations, inspirations, experiences,
• Finding your voice
• Starting songs, lyrical, musical scope and style
• Shaping and finishing songs
• One-on-one coaching sessions
• Thoughts on performing and recording
• Effective ways of collaborating and co-writing
• Interactive co-writing workshop
• Overview of releasing your work, rights and revenue
