From September 2006 I will be running music workshops in:

  • Singing

  • Songwriting

  • Performance

The workshops will be tailored for beginners, intermediate and advanced players to develop and discover their inner voices.

I am aware that people will be of different abilities and have different requirements. I have tailored three packages which will suit most people’s needs.

 

Package 1: ‘The Weekend Away’

The intensive weekend workshops will be aimed at young professionals who need a break from the rat race, and towards parents with children and anyone with an interest in music.

The workshops will be set up in conjunction with local hotels and crèches where the clients can board and have their children looked after if they are coming from London for the weekend, for example.

The weekend workshops will also be aimed at local music students/musicians and anyone interested in music but looking for a deeper insight into songwriting and composition. The workshops will allow more time for individuals to develop their compositional voices.

Prices will be £120 per person for a two day weekend music course.

A typical workshop:

Saturday day: 10-1: Performance workshop/get to know each other session

Lunch 2-3

Saturday afternoon: 3-6: songwriting the basics

(Students do exercises)

Sunday day: 10-1 Put members into twos and get them to write a mini tune

Sun lunch: 1-130

Sunday eve: 130-430 teach some music theory and improvisation techniques

 

Package 2: ‘The Brightoner’

The weekday evening courses will be aimed at local music students/musicians and anyone interested in music. These courses will be run for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. The weekly workshops will allow for a deeper exploration of composition and singing, thereby allowing more time for the individuals to develop their musical voices.

I will charge £100 for a weekly 90 minute workshop over 8 weeks.

 

Package 3: ‘Music Workshops in the Education Sector’

These workshops will be run in conjunction with the East Sussex County Council Music Service.

These workshops can be offered as packages which can be tailored to the needs of the particular school/education bodies including: community action projects, summer schools, programmes, after school clubs, adult education workshops, university departments:

  • Single workshops: £200-400 per day (depending on the schools budget and requirements, including any travel costs/equipment hire/administration costs)

  • Workshop ‘bundles’ x 6 spread over a year or term: £1500

  • Music workshops and a concert where I can perform relevant material for the students: £400-800

  •
