School Holiday Workshop – Songwriting Masterclass (SYD)

Songwriting workshop

Learn how to make and perform your own original songs!

Created for students in Years 9-12, AIM’s new high school music workshops provide incredible opportunities to explore songwriting, mentored by AIM’s own accomplished musicians and educators.

This songwriting workshop is essential for any high school students curious about writing songs and performing and is a golden opportunity to work with incredibly accomplished songwriters. Join us these school holidays and discover the songwriter and performer you were born to become.

Over the course of the workshop, students will work with professional Songwriter/Composer/Producer Dominic Cabusi to expand their songwriting skills in a collaborative and inspiring environment. They will workshop harmony, melody, style, lyricism, basic arrangement and/or production and artistic performance. Under his guidance, they will use these new devices to write original music in collaboration with other students in the class to present in a performance for family and friends.

Performance for parents and friends commences at 4pm.
