Delve into the art of songwriting with your mentor, nationally respected composer and musical storyteller Paul Jarman. In this intimate workshop, you'll explore the joy of crafting stories and songs while connecting with new creative friends.
The workshop will include an open and practical conversation about how songs come to life, covering melody, inspiration, mindset, and storytelling with integrity. Those new to this workshop are encouraged to join an optional introductory session, where Paul will introduce key elements in the songwriter's toolbox, including compositional structure, melodic nuances, and approaches to creative thinking.
With a refreshed format in 2026, everyone who has an idea to share will be the catalyst for the creative journey. Paul will work with participants in a collaborative and supportive environment, crafting music that draws from personal experiences and stories. All are welcome, whether you're a seasoned musician or have never written a song before.
Previous attendees have described the experience as uniquely special, noting the lasting skills gained and the friendships formed. A preliminary meet-and-greet session offers a relaxed opportunity to connect with Paul and your fellow songwriters before the workshop begins.
Participants are welcome to bring instruments with them. Places are strictly limited to 20 participants, so book early to avoid disappointment!
