Description
Do you want to learn how to Craft Powerful Lyrics?
This series of 3 fully interactive presentations with exercises will inspire you to Plan, Progress and Perfect the lyrics of your songs in any genre, from deceptively Simple Language to Sophisticated Wordplay.
The course includes the following comprehensive Lyric Writing Training sessions:
19/09/26 – Simple Lyrical Language, Structure & The BIG Idea!
26/09/26 – Develop your Lyrics with Imagery, Storytelling & Rhyme
10/10/26 – Transform your Lyrics with Wordplay & Prosody
By analysing classic & contemporary songs from The Beatles to Billie Eilish, Dylan to Stormzy, as well as a nod to The Great American Songbook, you will learn the elements of what makes a great lyric and how to apply them in your own writing.
These sessions are suitable for songwriters of any experience, whether pure lyricists or composers.
There is more than enough inspiration for each week to be taken as a standalone session at £20 – however, sign up for all three sessions on this page and the total is only £47 a 22% discount.
There are limited places available – we’ll send a Zoom link before each session.
