Song Making with Leanne Murphy

Get the year off to a harmonious start with a fun song making session with fabulous singer/songwriter and skilled community song leader Leanne Murphy.

Leanne will guide participants through her process for creating tunes for community singing and introduce ideas and tools to support the practice.

The session will include:

• Singing and dissecting a range of easy originals for community singing in 2-4 part harmony
• Discussing why, when and how to share your own songs with your group, and what helps make this fun for everyone... including you!
• How to catch a song: solo, partner and small group exercises to get the words flowing and the songs growing
• Exploring inexpensive or free tools to help transition your ideas from single words or melody lines into actual songs, starting with good old pen and paper, as well as recording devices and notation software

No experience needed, just a desire to make music and play with words and ideas.
