Have you written songs but never managed to taken them any further? This intensive course will allow you to convert your songwriting ideas into either a sequenced backing track in Logic Pro or a demo version recorded live in the studio (or a combination of the two!). Working with songwriting and music production tutors, you will need to have finished or near-complete songs ready to go. These will be workshopped and then transformed into demos that you can use promote yourself or even simply to sing over when practising.
