About this Event

This six week short course will introduce the fundamentals of songwriting so you can regularly start and finish songs!

Topics covered will include generating ideas using rhythm, chord sequences, avoiding writer's block, writing compelling lyrics, and arrangement.

The course is open to all ability levels. If you play an instrument then you are welcome to bring this along with you. There is a piano in the room where the classes are being held.

The course will be delivered by Ian Crabtree. A professional guitar player, producer and songwriter, Ian has written songs for The Voice 2014 finalist Sally Barker, top jazz pianist Oli Silk and legendary UK funk outfit Down to the Bone. He regularly writes music for Clearwave/BMG and Loaded music publishers.

The classes will take place in the large music room behind the Cope Auditorium. Details on how to find this will be sent to attendees in advance.

When you select the first date of the course during booking, your ticket will automatically be applied to all six weeks.
