Bring out the Rock Stars – Songwriting with Juan Bellia

Description

In this interactive workshop, Juan Bellia guides participants through the foundational elements of songwriting, focusing on lyrics, melody, and the themes that inspire songs. The session begins with exploring the significance of song topics and ideas, encouraging participants to brainstorm thoughts, ideas, and emotions they wish to convey in their own songs. Through group discussions and voting, the participants select a central theme for their collaborative song.

Once the theme is chosen, participants break into smaller groups to work on lyric writing, focusing on aspects like meter and rhythm to create compelling lines. The workshop also delves into the creative and critical thought processes behind songwriting, with discussions on how melody and lyrics come together to express deeper ideas and emotions.
