Songwriting and Creative Expression Workshops for All Ages

Unleash Your Creativity is our all-age songwriting and creative expression programme, open to anyone who wants to write, perform and discover their artistic voice. Whether you’re 8 or 80, a beginner or a seasoned writer, these weekly sessions are designed to help you unlock ideas, express yourself and collaborate with others in a supportive, inspiring space.

Led by professional songwriters and facilitators, you’ll learn practical techniques to turn thoughts into lyrics, refine melodies and share your story with confidence.

Why Join?

• Develop your songwriting skills and learn to craft stronger, more memorable songs

• Conquer your fear of sharing your work and receiving feedback

• Put your feelings down on paper clearly and poetically

• Spark new ideas and inspiration through collaboration and group writing

• Connect with music experts and peers who can help you grow creatively

How It Works
Once a week, you’ll join one of our professional facilitators in either private or group sessions.
Group workshops are sorted by age, ensuring activities are fun, age-appropriate and confidence-building:

• 8–11: Young Songwriters – playful, imaginative and exploratory

• 12–15: Teenage Creators – lyrical development and teamwork

• 16–25: Young Adults – creative growth and artistic identity

• 25+: Adults & Community – expressive writing, collaboration and performance

You don’t need a great singing voice or any prior experience — just enthusiasm, openness and a willingness to learn. Parents are also encouraged to enrol children who show an early interest or talent in songwriting.

Cost
Our collaborative workshops are free when funding is available (subject to availability).
We also offer affordable 1:1 private sessions and paid group options when no funded spaces are open, including a flexible pay-what-you-can scheme.

When is the next  FREE programme?
All upcoming funded opportunities are listed on our Next Up page.
If you don’t secure a free space, don’t worry — you can still join us at low cost or through one of our creative community sessions.

Working on an EP with other members of True Cadence dramatically improved my songwriting skills. It gave me the confidence to be vulnerable and write songs that were inspired by some of my darkest times.
