Is music the language you want to use to bring people closer to God? Does your songwriting stall regularly? Do you sometimes just not find the right words or harmonies? Or do you just want to broaden your creative horizon and find new approaches to songwriting?
In this workshop I would like to show you different tools so that you can find your individual way to bring what God puts on your heart into a song form and not only that! We will do exercises together for more creative writing, share how to find the words for your songs aimed at your target audience, analyze song structures and share our experiences.
In addition to this, we’ll spend time specifically exploring how to hear God’s voice in this whole process of creative writing and music making.
Bring your Bible and musical instrument, notepaper, laptop, or whatever you prefer for your songwriting. There will be a piano, guitar and cajon available on site.
