Designed for both kids and adults, these exciting, hands-on classes run weekly in Albany, Takapuna, Grafton, and Botany—and are perfect for anyone ready to express themselves, get creative, and have fun!
What the Programme Offers:
Our songwriting classes are a creative space where imagination meets music. Whether you're a singer with a story to tell, a musician with a melody in your head, or someone who just loves music and wants to try something new, we’ve got you covered. You’ll learn:
Lyric writing – how to tell a story or capture emotion through words
Melody creation – build catchy, memorable tunes from scratch
Chord progressions – learn the foundations of song structure
Song forms – understand verses, choruses, bridges, and hooks
Co-writing & collaboration – team up with others to bring ideas to life
Performance skills – share your songs with the group in a supportive environment
Our experienced mentors guide each class with passion, helping students of all ages unlock their unique voice and style. We welcome all genres—pop, rock, indie, folk, hip-hop, R&B, and beyond!
For Kids & Teens
Songwriting is an incredible way for kids and teens to build confidence, creative thinking, and emotional expression. It teaches not only musical skills but also how to craft language, tell stories, and connect with others through art. Plus, they’ll have a blast writing their own original music, performing it in class, and even recording simple demos!
For Adults
Whether you're a hobbyist, aspiring artist, or just looking for a fresh creative outlet, adult classes are welcoming, inspiring, and tailored to your goals. You'll leave each session with new tools, new lyrics, and new musical ideas—plus the motivation to keep writing. It’s never too late to start writing songs!
Showcase Opportunities
Each term, students have the option to share their songs at a relaxed, supportive performance night or open mic-style event. These showcases are a celebration of creativity and an amazing confidence booster for students of all levels.
