A four day intensive for up to 20 participants consecutively over 4 days.

Designed to bring value and massively enrich your own artistry and creativity, the workshop series is open to both full-time professional practitioners as much as part-time community musicians.

The comprehensive daily Creative Music Workshop program is an awesome opportunity to explore and develop your practical and creative music skills, and helps develop your artistry in every aspect of music making - accessing inspiration and ideas without “writer’s block”, accessing more emotional depth, having experiences of creating music, acquiring new musical skills, new practical understandings of how music can be created, insights into creative approaches, ways of working creatively solo and collaboratively, and new approaches to wellbeing as arts practitioners including learned strategies and practices to support being able to self-regulate, calm, nurture, express, feel and share, belong, create, contribute, and feel valued ongoing.

The content of the workshops is relevant to all instruments including voice, across all styles of music from classical to folk, rock, pop, blues, indie, ambient and world music. Includes small group and one-on-one time, in an integrated, exciting and inclusive program of growing and deepening your creative music-making.

Being open to the general public to observe, it is also a fascinating and enriching opportunity for the public to wander in and see an insider’s view of the musicians working together with an international calibre artist in the intimate creative processes of music-making.
