Dreaming about creating your own music? At our course Music and Songwriting you'll get to write, play and produce your own music!

Music & Songwriting gives you a full year to explore, develop, and shape your unique musical expression. You’ll use your voice, play various instruments, and create music together with fellow musicians. 

This is what you’ll experience: 

Throughout the year, you’ll have the chance to dive deeper into vocals, your main instrument, playing in a band, and music production. You’ll record your own song, perform each other’s music at concerts, and work together as a creative community. 

In this course, we’ll move away from the pressure to perform – and instead focus on the joy of creating. You'll get to explore lyrics, melodies, and sounds in a safe and supportive environment.
