The songwriting workshop aims to create an environment of exchange and sharing among creators of all levels. Composer-producer Kevin O’Neil will guide beginners in creating their very first work, while more experienced participants will learn tips and tricks to break new ground and develop fresh inspiration. The entire workshop takes place in a friendly, relaxed, and inspiring atmosphere. A concert featuring the composed pieces and/or a recording session will be held at the end of the session. Open to students of all levels and all musical styles.

Prerequisites
None, except an open mind for exploration and creative collaboration! The ability to play an instrument is an asset but not necessarily required.
Required Equipment
A piano will be available on-site. If the student plays an easily transportable instrument (guitar, ukulele, synthesizer, laptop), they may bring it to class. It would be helpful to have access to a computer or tablet at home, as the instructor will demonstrate basic techniques for composition and audio editing (using free software).
Note that all our group classes are given in French
