PROJECT SUMMARY

Supporting emerging songwriters 8 - 12 years, to help them develop a set of essential foundational musical skills while learning about songwriting, singing and performing, in a supportive small group environment.

Youth Songwriting taking flight

Song Club Junior is a 2-hour weekly session during school term hours from Song Conversations’ Creative Studio in Mangawhai. The aim is to encourage and support emerging songwriters 8 – 12 years, to help them develop a set of essential foundational musical skills while learning about songwriting, singing and performing, in a supportive small group environment.

Participants learn songwriting techniques, song structure, terminology, lyric writing, stage performance, and singing technique. A group format allowed participants to assess their work through group discussion and feedback, helping to gain confidence in their craft and abilities.

Song Club Junior allows students to utilise technology alongside songwriting skills to produce recordings using Soundtrap online software.
