Four professional music producers have been sharing their expertise in songwriting and production with music students from Callaghan College today.
The two-day workshop, which continues tomorrow give Music students from Year 11 and 12 a unique opportunity to work alongside some of the industry’s leading experts from the Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) is a unique opportunity.
“Learning how to grow the seed of a lyric or a melody into a whole song and then work out how best to perform it, and then produce that performance, is a complex creative and technical process you can only really learn on the job,” Jesmond Campus’ Head Teacher of Creative and Performing Arts, Jamie Mitchell said.
“That’s why we’re delighted to have four of the best in the industry guiding our students to show them what’s possible, particularly with the amazing production technology that’s now accessible, and available to them in the Campus’ new CAPA facility.
“We’re hoping the workshops will inspire the students to be creative in their own time, especially given the impressive technology and software that can now be bought for home use at a very reasonable cost.”
Over the two days, the students will form groups to will work with the producers on writing and recording their own songs. The workshop will conclude with a feedback session on the student’s work.
