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.
If the participant plays an acoustic instrument (including hand drums) and feels comfortable playing in a group situation we encourage them to bring it along. Everyone will need pen and paper and if they want to record their efforts, a smart phone will be useful.
Mike Whittle has studied songwriting in Vancouver with Fred Booker and his songs have been broadcast on radio. ‘Last Man from Dunolly’, set in WW1, is his best-known song.
Claudia Collins has recorded two CDs of her original songs and runs Belmont Page, a creative writing group. She fronted the band ‘Naughty Nanna and the Toy Boys’ performing her original material in 2007 - 2011.
Mathilda Garrido Lucay has participated in two musicals through Sacred Heart College and has performed in the school’s choir. She has written multiple songs accompanied by a piano, ukulele, or her own computer-generated composition.
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.
