'The aim is to write a song over the Jan / Feb course. If you can’t attend every session that’s ok, but we will be focusing on building and growing our songs over this period.'
Riverside studios is delighted to present their first monthly Songwriting course. This class is suitable for anyone over the age of 18 with a passion for music. If you are interested in learning how to write a song then this class is for you. We will focus on building melodies and honing in on lyric writing through fun exercises and industry techniques. No musical knowledge is required, but if you can sing/play an instrument it's a bonus.
