Karratha youth songwriting workshops

Are you aged 12 to 18 years-old? Do you sing or play an instrument? Want to write original songs but don't know where to start?

Join our youth songwriting series in Karratha WA in January 2021 and be guided through the writing process by our team of facilitators - talented, local songwriters, Angus Smith and Lee Forster.

What: 2x three-hour youth songwriting workshops
Cost: $40 total
Where: Red Earth Arts Precinct (REAP), 27 Welcome Rd, Karratha WA
When: Friday 15th & Friday 29th January, 1pm-4pm
Please note: As this is a workshop series, participants attend BOTH sessions.

The first workshop session will cover the basic building blocks of songwriting and get you started on writing, with the second session building on those skills, and providing the opportunity to develop your song and get some valuable feedback.

If you play an instrument, please bring it along!

Once you have booked your workshop ticket, you will receive an email confirming your spot, with further details to come.
