The Ultimate Songwriting Experience

A Unique Holiday Songwriting Workshop for 8-12 Year Olds

7th-8th October

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.

What’s Included:

  • Two Fun-Filled Days (6 hours/day): An immersive experience designed to engage young minds through hands-on music-making.

  • Create a Real Song: From idea to recording—students work together to write and produce a completely original track.

  • Collaborative Projects: Activities designed to encourage curiosity, imagination, and working together to solve creative challenges.

  • Easy-to-Use Tools: All music software and equipment is provided, in a welcoming, age-appropriate setting.

  • Celebrate Your Work: A relaxed group “listening party” wraps up the experience, where kids share their song and celebrate what they’ve made.

  • Take It Home: Each student receives a copy of their group’s recording to keep and share with family and friends.

Who Is It For?

This workshop is perfect for creative kids aged 8–12 who love music, storytelling, or inventing their own ideas. No experience is necessary—just a love of creativity and a willingness to try something new.
