Creative Song Writing and Performance Summer School

Join artist Theo Williams for an energising five-day summer school focused on the craft of songwriting and the art of performance. This immersive course invites participants to explore their unique voice—both lyrically and vocally—develop original material, and perform with authenticity and confidence. Whether you're a bedroom songwriter or emerging performer, the summer school offers a structured yet playful space to write, collaborate, and grow as an artist.

Throughout the week, Theo Williams will guide participants through songwriting techniques, melody and lyric development, vocal coaching, and live performance skills. The course culminates in a supportive showcase event where participants share their work-in-progress or completed songs with peers and invited guests.

Course Aims:

  • To develop participants’ songwriting skills through daily creative exercises

  • To explore personal voice, identity, and storytelling in music

  • To build performance confidence and stage presence

  • To create a collaborative and experimental community of musicians and writers

  • To finish the week with at least one original song and a live or recorded performance
