Part 1:

An introduction to gospel style music, warm up by learning a lively gospel song and singing it together with movement and claping to keep rhythm with the most brilliant band to back you up (live drummer and keyboard player).

Learning how to create your own song with others in the workshop and the help of the team. This is where the fun begins, you become a song writer –NO DONT BE SCARED! We promise will help as we have years of experience even for the most beginners of beginners.

Everybody who has done this workshop in the past has loved it.

We will all writing a song together. You will be split into groups to do this. One group will write a ‘verse’, another a ‘chorus’, another a ‘bridge’ (if you don’t know what all this means we will explain it all). This part may take a little time but once we have all the ingredients we will start cooking them together meaning; we will try and perform the song as a whole mixing all te parts we have written all together. We will then try this with the band and make it rock!

Part three:

We will start to tidy up the song, arrange it so it sounds nice and tight. We will then want to record the song. Yes RECORD IT! We will start to learn microphone and recording techniques. We will then spend the time with the band and team recording the song. You will then able to get your own recording of your wonderful performance on a cd or mp3 via the internet. And we might even be able to perform the songs at an event where your family and friends can come to watch!
