New Collaborative Songcamp

Waltons New School of Music

Facilitated by hit songwriter Luan Parle and designed for participants who have previously taken a songwriting course or workshop with the New School (for example, our Songwriting Workshop or The Art & Craft of Songwriting) or elsewhere, or who have already written the music and/or lyrics to one or more songs, our Collaborative Songcamp is an exciting new concept in songwriting tuition.

This online course, which takes place on Wednesday evenings and starts on 27 April, can be taken by participants living anywhere in Ireland or around the world.

Over the course of 10 weeks and 20 hours of intensive songwriting tuition and collaboration, participants will:

• Receive an overview and reinforcement of all the key elements of successful songwriting, including song structures, themes & concepts, chord structures, chord sequences & chord progressions, approaches to lyric writing, melody and arrangement.
• Develop new songs and collaborate with like-minded fellow songwriters.
• Get practical songwriting advice from Luan, one of the finest songwriters on the Irish music scene.
• Develop the skills, knowledge and tools required to build a successful songwriting career and songwriting portfolio.
• Expand their network of collaborators.
• Get first-hand insights into the life of a professional songwriter.

Participants whose primary interest is lyric writing, music writing – or both – are welcome. Those who play an instrument or sing can incorporate it into their work. Music reading is not necessary to participate, and knowledge of a chordal instrument (guitar, piano, etc.) is helpful but not required.
