Report - Songwriting II - Theory Into Practice Workshop
Our first practical songwriting workshop on Saturday 15 November 2025 was very successful. Once the nerves settled, all freely shared their ideas, lyrics, works in progress and completed songs. Feedback from the group was invaluable and all participants were able to develop their ideas further. Collaborations were formed and are set to continue. It gave me great pleasure watch creativity in action and new songs come alive. Thank you to all participants who generously shared their musical, lyrical and vocal abilities. Watch this space for more courses in 2026!
