An immersive & motivational experience for aspiring young songwriters aged 11-19.
Wednesday 9th to the Saturday 12th August 2023
By popular demand we’ve designed a 4 day residential songwriting camp for this Summer 2023! Led by our expert team of top songwriters and producers who share a passion for inspiring the next generation.
It’s designed for aspiring young songwriters to develop their songwriting skills, connect & collaborate on exciting songwriting briefs over 4 days & immerse themselves in all parts of the songwriting process, from finding inspiration, lyric writing, melody improvisation and composition to producing and performing.
The inaugural camp will have limited availability of only 40 places in small groups of 11-13 year olds, 14-15 and 16-19 year olds.
The cost for this exciting residential songwriting camp is £595. This includes accommodation, meals and all songwriting and creative activities during the camp.
The Songwriting camp will be held at St Catherine’s School, Station Rd, Bramley, Guildford GU5 0DF.

The 4 day programme included engaging sessions on:
Creating song concepts and understanding song structure
Creative lyric writing – including co-writing songs
Chords, Melody and Harmony improvisation (with some music theory)
Ways to develop your sound and style
Recording and producing your songs
Choir & Band
How to engage your audience
How the Songwriting/Music industry works
How to create your own brand & fanbase
Masterclasses where we give feedback on songs previously written and work in progress songs
Open songwriter/mic nights
Special guest speaker nights with opportunity for Q&As
Solo performance & group performances at the end of camp showcase from 2-4pm on Saturday 12th August
An excellent team leading the songwriting tuition and wellbeing of every participant
There will be two teams leading the camp, one focused on the songwriting tuition and the other on the wellbeing of participants and leisure activities in the afternoon, extra-curricular activities in the evenings (special guest talks and quiz night/songwriter live nights), going to bed/getting up in the morning and generally making sure that everyone is in the right place at the right time and enjoying the songwriting camp.
There will be a good mixture of focused songwriting work across the whole creative songwriting process, leisure time, song feedback, guest speakers and performance sessions. As always everyone on the Song Academy team will have an enhanced DBS certificate and the right number of first aid practitioners.
We’ve aimed to create the ideal songwriting camp for 11-19 year olds.

Testimonials. From some of our participants and their parents from our other songwriting programmes.
Song Academy gives me an opportunity to express my feelings through song more effectively. I already enjoyed song-writing before but with the encouragement and guidance of the Song Academy team, I feel much more confident and I love performing at the end of term Gigs!
India, aged 14
It’s been an incredible journey of discovery & given me so many new ideas of how to extend myself. I’ve made great out of school friends with like-minded people and we spark creative ideas off each other.
Ella, aged 15
Thank you Song Academy! You’ve given Daisy a unique outlet to be creative & inspired, plus she’s made some life-long friends. Keep on inspiring young people with your magic!

Lets their musical & creative side run free.
