The Creative Voice Project….’And then there were Two!!’

~ Caz ~ Leave a comment

Our first term in Skibbereen has been a really great experience; with such an amazing group of women coming together to learn, explore and sing…. and I’m super excited to have been invited to start a second group up from Civic Trust House in Cork! The Creative Voice Project is my newest project, and it feels like something quite original is unfolding here. Whilst creating a beautiful sound and repertoire of songs is a big part of the focus, we are also embracing the diversity of our backgrounds and experiences.

If you are a woman who loves to sing in harmony and are ready to expand and be stretched; beyond the regular community choir, and with a relaxed and creative approach, then this could be for you.

A great evening of song!

We had a wonderful evening singing and playing as part of the West Cork Feelgood Festival on Wednesday 1st October. We were a combination of Ballydehob Community Band, Acapellabella, and local public….sharing good vibes at Levis Corner Bar in Ballydehob. We learned a few songs – including one of my own written especially for the event, complete with harmonies, and found great pleasure in sharing the evening together. I’d like to approach local festivals and events next year to suggest bringing this format out to other towns and villages around West Cork. The event creates such a wonderful space to meet and enjoy sharing meaningful music together. If you’d like to see this coming into your community please get in touch.

Monthly Songwriting Circle

~ Caz ~ Leave a comment

I’m starting up a monthly Songwriting Circle, initially on Sundays from 10.30am to 1.30pm at a studio near Ballydehob. This is a super exciting opportunity to gather with others to explore and try out ideas…regardless of how much experience you’ve had previously, or whether you consider yourself a musician, singer or writer. A space for allowing those creative juices to flow….and have alot of fun with playing with a wide variety of styles and approaches. We will look at different starting places, and also how to move forward through feeling stuck, sometimes working in groups and other times alone. Bring your inspirations, aspirations, instruments and your notebook….and let’s get co-creative! Get in touch if you are interested to hear more about other opportunities for exploring songwriting skills with me.

Very excited to have the opportunity to work with Katrina…a very creative and talented musician and singer – songwriter based in Glengarriff, and we are both looking forward to creating some music to explore with the group. There are still places left, so if you are a woman who’s ready for a new experience in harmony singing through group coaching, get in touch to see if this might be for you!

It’s been 7 years I think, since I last brought a Harmony Singing Workshop to Scariff….and I’m SO looking fowards to coming back! I’ll be bringing a great new collection of songs with me, all with inspiring harmonies of course. Please help to spread the word and let others know…can’t wait to sing with you all again!

The Songwriting Hub

~ Caz ~ Leave a comment

Recently I’ve been getting so many inspirations and ideas for creating new music…so I have now created a dedicated space where others can join me to explore.

Welcome! The Songwriting Hub is a fun and nurturing space in which to explore and grow. I’ll be dropping in various content to help inspire and encourage the creativity to flow. I’ll also be sharing details of projects, workshops and mini training sessions which I will be offering in both my free and paid spaces.

This group is for you if:
🎶 You’d like to write songs but don’t know where to start…or perhaps find you don’t reach completion
🎶 You love writing songs and welcome new ideas and tips
🎶 You’d love regular support and encouragement
🎶 You are inspired to explore songwriting alongside others
🎶 You feel excited about songwriting as a tool for self discovery and self expression

If you feel drawn to join me in this space then I look forward to sharing this adventure with you! Please join by the link below, and share to invite others…and let’s get this community growing and the creative juices flowing !! 🎶🎶
