SONGWRITING PROGRAMME

Registration is open for our next 4-week songwriting programme taking place on weekly Tuesday evenings at Future Yard, led by PROPELLER mentor Katie Mac:

Our songwriting programme is open to anyone over the age of 16 with an interest in improving their songwriting skills. You must be available to attend all 4 sessions. The programme consists of three workshops (6pm-9pm) and ends with an Open Mic (7pm-10pm) for you to perform your creations.

There are 12 spaces available and this as an open call-out, but members of Propeller (our free to access talent development programme) will be prioritised. To grab your space, please register below. Katie will be in touch in January to grab some additional information from you ahead of the first session.

This edition of Katie’s songwriting programme will focus on solo songwriting. The next edition of the songwriting programme starting on 18th March will focus on collaboration.

All those who complete the programme will receive 10 hours of free rehearsal time at Future Yard which can be used whenever suits you.

The dates of the sessions are as follows:

Tuesday 21st January: 6pm – 9pm (workshop)
Tuesday 28th January: 6pm – 9pm (workshop)
Tuesday 4th February: 6pm – 9pm (workshop)
Tuesday 11th October: 7pm – 10pm (open mic)

The important stuff:
– You must be over the age of 16.
– All abilities and experience levels are welcome.
– Playing an instrument is very much optional.
– Performing your creations is part of the programme.
– The programme will help you get rid of that fear of a blank page and help you with starting points that combat writers block.
– You will explore different techniques that may help you discover which one works best for you.
– We anticipate that you will finish this 4 week programme with at least 2 songs.
– You will not be judged on the quality of your output, it’s all part of the process.
– There is no such thing as failure.
– We will all support each other and appreciate our different experiences.
– The workshops will take place on the first floor workshop space at Future Yard, which unfortunately does not have lift access.
– To redeem your free rehearsal time requires a Propeller membership.
– Our Open Mic is open to all and will not just be attended by those taking part in the songwriting programme.
– You must be available for all sessions.
