Description
Open up a world of creative possibilities and build professional skills & networks through co-writing and collaboration.For many songwriters, musicians, and artists, co-writing with others provides some of the most exciting and rewarding moments of their creative lives. Connecting with others through collaboration opens up doors and opportunities that you may never have considered possible.This course has been designed to take you step-by-step through the co-writing process, in three main sections:PREPARATION - we give you a checklist of things to do before you get into the room with another writer or musician. This checklist will build your confidence and maximise your chances of success when you start writing-you will learn what kinds of ideas to bring, in what form, as well as what not to bring to a co-write.PROCESS - we take you behind the scenes and show you a live-demonstration of our co-writing methods, guiding you through the songwriting process whilst also noting things to avoid and common pitfalls.PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE - we provide industry-standard protocols that will help you continue your collaborations beyond the first session - we show you how to establish a reputation for being easy to work with and well-organised, two important traits that will attract collaborators.Drawing on more than 20 years' experience, we show you the ins and outs of co-writing and professional collaboration - how it differs from writing alone and how you can start to build skills and relationships in the music world and beyond.We also answer some of the most commonly asked questions:What should I look for in a co-writer?How and where do I find people to collaborate with?How do you best structure a session?How do you deal with anxiety and feelings of not being good enough?Is there a formula for writing a song?Your Teachers - Industry ExpertsKeppie and Benny are working professional songwriters, and both teach contemporary songwriting in some of the world's most renowned colleges and universities.
