Songwriting masterclass

APRIL 24
Songwriting masterclass: learn from the best!
(English below)
Als aanvulling op het cursusprogramma kun je deelnemen aan songwriting masterclasses. In een songwriting masterclass maak je rechtstreeks kennis met de werkwijze en ideeën van succesvolle singer-songwriters uit Nederland en daarbuiten.
Elke songwriting masterclass is een unieke online sessie waarin bekende liedjesmakers jou live vertellen over hun kijk op songwriting. Je krijgt de gelegenheid om ze persoonlijk vragen te stellen: Wat inspireert hun? Hoe gaan ze te werk? Schrijven ze alleen of met anderen? Wat zijn hun favoriete liedjes en wie hun favoriete liedjesschrijvers? En wat is het belangrijkste advies die ze willen meegeven?
Je krijgt waardevolle info en inzichten uit de eerste hand, waarmee je je eigen songwriting skills en talent voedt. En je mag live vragen stellen!

The Devil’s In The Details…
and so is a great song!
Here’s what Susan says about this Masterclass:
“How often are you stuck with lyrics that feel “generic” and uninteresting? Join me as we explore ways to generate sense-bound imagery for your songs! I’ll start the hour by showing you some in-class writing techniques to get you thinking about ways to “show not tell” your story. Some of the writing prompts we’ll learn about are focused writing, object writing, and writing through the power of metaphor and how it can transform any song into magic.”
