Realistic Record Deal is a 10 week advanced workshop where students learn the basic skills involved in songwriting, including how to write hooks and riffs as well as melodies and lyrics. They then write their own songs and record them in the in-house studio before performing them at the end of term showcase.
The songs from this term are now available for download for £1 each.
All profits raised from these songs go straight to Children In Need- we’ve raised over £200 on previous workshops so please download both songs if you can.
