Exploring the craft of songwriting in all pop genres from Rock ’n’ Roll to Hip Hop.

The course will look at how songs are made, from sparks of inspiration to the construction of lyrics, rhythms, and melodies, to the mechanics of production.

Singer songwriter and spoken word poet Steve Larkin will guide participants through an Arts Award Bronze course which examines how diverse successful musical artists create songs.
