SONGWORK is a North-German Songwriting Workshop which offers the chance to improve your songwriting skills, under the expert mentorship of our experienced team of songwriters. It will take place at the wonderful Studio Hire in Ottersberg, which is a nice little village between Bremen and Hamburg. The mission of the workshop is to deepen knowledge regarding songwriting in different aspects like lyrics, melody, harmony or song structure. The educational part of the workshop will be followed by a songwriting session under the supervision of our team:
1. Saturday (beginner level) is dedicated to people who want to try it out and see what it takes to write a song. Or maybe you simply want to spend a fun day doing something interesting. We will start by discussing different aspects of a songwriting process, like writing melody, lyrics and choosing chord progressions. After that, you will start working on your own songs under our supervision. It would be good if you can play some instrument (preferably guitar or piano). The instruments will be ready for you to use in the studio. At the end of the day, you will leave home with your nice little own song which you can then perform for your family and friends!
2. Sunday (intermediate level) is dedicated to aspiring songwriters and semi-professionals. Through lectures and exercises, participants will develop a greater understanding of how lyrics, melody and harmony work in a song. After the educational part, you will be writing your own songs under our supervision. We will finish the day with a listening session, in which you can perform your song on the stage in the studio and you will get feedback from us and from the other participants. Please note that the ability to play at least one instrument and basic understanding of harmony is required for this (intermediate) level of workshop.
