ONLINE SONGWRITERS’ CIRCLE
The first Songwriters’ Circle went excellently in June - ten people came and shared a song or the beginnings of one. It was so great to hear what people have been up to and how they approach their songwriting.
So we’ll do it all again!
MONDAY 6th JUNE / On Zoom 7pm-8.30pm
Come and play a song you've written.. it could be a finished song, or something unfinished.. or just an idea you're working on. Or something you want to test out on a small friendly audience. Suitable for beginners through to experienced song writers.
Cost $20 (or less if ya like)

ONLINE SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS
Rose offers weekly songwriting sessions online in monthly blocks.
The next one will be in August starting on Thursday 6th.
These four 90 minute sessions are jam-packed full of exercises looking at lyric writing, melody shaping, chord choices, song structure & dynamics. Suitable for those who have just started dabbling in songwriting, through to people with years of experience. You just need to be have at least basic skills on a chordal instrument you can sing along to (guitar, piano, ukulele, etc).
Come and be loose and playful and maybe even write the worst song you’ve ever written, but isn’t that way better than not writing any songs at all!
You’ll get at least the bones of a new song written every week. 4 new songs!
Limited places. Cost $100-$130 (you choose how much) for the total of 4 sessions.

Testimonials from recent participants in the online songwriting sessions:
“Your workshops bent my brain. I had to think in ways I’d almost forgotten how to. Much appreciated mental exercise and great support from a welcoming community of like-minded people.” Elizabeth.
“For a first-time songwriter, your workshop was a safe and welcoming space to have a go. I loved the structured support, but the no rules approach also allowed for creative freedom. It was great to hear others and share everyone’s different songs. I was amazed that I could whack something out so quickly with words and a melody. Not sure where it came from, but you helped tease it out.” Tony
“Rose meets songwriters where they're at, and challenges them to think in so many new ways about the things they have made (or even half-made).Thanks so much for this series - so many new ideas to think about.” Amanda
"Rose has a generous nature and great exercise to get you songwriting even after the course." Trent
“I loved Rose's online songwriting course. Inspiring, motivating and welcoming. I'm really going to miss the 90mins of dedicated songwriting each week. The open-ended nature of her tasks and exercises really got us writing and exploring lyrics, moods and song structure. I would happily do it all over again. Highly recommend.” Ange KT
