Songwriting Workshop with Mathew Kerry

Are you interested in writing songs? Are you looking for a creative community? Do you struggle with getting started? Do you struggle with finishing your ideas, and maybe need a kick up the bum?

Then you might enjoy this 6-week workshop designed to help you find ways into creativity and playfully practice engaging with all aspects of songwriting in an intimate and supportive forum for feedback and constructive criticism.

Structure
- This ongoing workshop invites you to create new material weekly with relaxed deadlines, getting you into the habit of making and providing an impetus to start, edit, and complete your work.

Practice & Development
- Every session will explore a new element of the form, presenting new opportunities for building on your current understanding, no matter your level of experience.

Feedback
- You will be able to share your work in a closed and intimate group, getting weekly feedback and constructive criticism for your work. You'll also be offering the same valuable crit and perspective to your coursemates.

Community
- You will be regularly meeting with other enthusiastic creatives and songwriters who are just as keen to develop their skills and songs as you are!
