Language & teacher(s) Dutch/English

This course offers an inspiring deep dive for musicians and singers who want to make music together and/or make their own songs stronger.

Over two intense Saturdays and a rehearsal, we will work towards a small stage moment at the WISPER presentation days (22 - 23 - 24 May).

WISPER's resident songwriter and master of the craft Sebastiaan (Somebody Called Me Sebastiaan) will provide you with inspiration, motivation and coaching full of interesting insights. Together with the other participants, you get to work: you write, you play, you try. At the end of the weekend, if you are ready, you will play something for the group. Your fellow students will be your first, safe audience, from whom you will receive feedback, and with whom you can then move on.

An ideal series for anyone who wants to sharpen their skills, work together on their own creative ideas and seize the opportunity to perform on stage (again).


Practical

Bring your own instrument, and your (unfinished) musical ideas if you have any.
WISPER will provide a piano and percussion equipment.

Level of experience

Level 2 - 3: for songwriters with some experience. You may have previously taken a songwriting or production course at WISPER or gained that knowledge elsewhere.
