@ ST JAMES

​Song Academy is a guided experience for a small group of young, new singer-songwriters.  It will:

​

• Help participants draw on experiences to form meaningful lyrics

• Explore writing poetic and rhyming songs

• Develop accompaniments and musicians for performance

• Record a demo CD

Song Academy will be held over four days in the school holiday at ​10.00am to 3.00pm.  The course will be run by an experienced musician and performer and supported by a youth worker, culminating in the recording of a Song School E.P. containing all the songs from the course, professionally recorded. 

​

The course is open to young people aged School Yr 9-18yrs who should have some basic knowledge of poetry, lyric writing or musical accompaniment. ​We are fully equipped with instruments, stationary, rehearsal and recording facilities and refreshment/snack bar so all participants needs are catered for on-site.
