An inspiring deep dive for musicians and singers who want to make music together and want to find out more about the ingredients of a strong song!

For two intense days, WISPER's resident and master songwriter Sebastiaan (Somebody Called Me Sebastiaan) will provide you with inspiration, motivation and coaching from many interesting approaches.

Together with the other participants, you write, you play, you try. At the end of the weekend, when you feel ready, you let the group hear something. Your fellow students will be your first, safe audience, from whom you will receive feedback, and with whom you can proceed from there.

Fear not: for this course, you don't need to be able to sing AND write AND play an instrument. As long as you are curious about the elements of a good song: melody, rhythm, harmony, genre, structure and lyrics.

Practical

Bring your own instrument, and your own (unfinished) musical ideas if you have any lying around. WISPER provides a piano and percussion instruments.

Level of experience

Level X: for anyone interested in the ingredients of a strong song, with or without experience.
