Songwriting
​
Andy Brown and Marc Woodward

Saturday 24th June 
Venue tbc

What's the difference between a poem and a song? Beginning with traditional ballads, you'll experiment with the simple elements of action, dialogue and refrain, exploring the basic structures employed in the lyrical palette of such songs. You'll also look at the features and style of some songs from the classic modern songbook, to see how wordplay and lightness of touch can work in a lyric. Marc and Andy will share a couple of their songs to inspire you, and there will be opportunity to collaborate with each other, particularly if some of you bring musical instruments. By the end of the session, you should have written a couple of draft songs that we can hear in a mini recital/performance to round things off.
