The Ultimate Songwriting Experience

Calling All Young Creators!

Join us for a two-day music adventure designed for curious, creative kids aged 8–12. In this hands-on camp, budding musicians will dive into the exciting world of songwriting—crafting lyrics, building melodies, exploring chords, and producing their own original music using real digital tools.

With only a handful of spots available, students will enjoy a personalised, small-group experience as they work in supportive teams to bring their musical ideas to life. By the end, they’ll take home a professionally recorded original song they created themselves.

Led by professional musician, songwriter, and educator Sophie Hanlon (Trophie), this exclusive workshop builds creativity, confidence, and collaboration—through the power of music.
