In this songwriting workshop, we’ll be breaking down the songwriting process and learning techniques to start lyric-writing. We’ll be singing, sculpting poetic phrases and taking inspiration from the collection at the Foundling Museum with multi-instrumentalist and composer Beth Hopkins.
All are welcome – no prior musical experience needed, but please bring your instrument if you play one.
This workshop is open to anyone aged 18-30 and you don’t need any prior experience to join us. If you want to be creative in a supportive artist-led environment, learn how to write songs and chat with other like-minded creatives, this event is for you!
