“Caz really brings all of her knowledge and experience to the table, offering encouragement and support whilst teasing out new ideas and helping you to look at stepping outside your comfort zone and into new areas. I learned new tools to help me to move through creative blocks and have come away with lots of ideas I’d like to work on. A really enjoyable and empowering experience!”
– Kathy Crockett, West Cork, 2025 (3 session package)

Songwriting Hub

Creating new songs and arrangements for sharing music is perhaps my favourite aspect of collaborative music exploration. In past years I have written songs for many of the bands and choirs I have been working and performing with, and now include this as a collaborative and creative activity within some of my groups. I run a monthly Songwriting Circle in Ballydehob on the first Sunday of every month, and also offer one-off workshops and coaching packages for individuals and groups.

Songwriting Workshops

Composition Workshops can be designed with many focus points and desired outcomes to include:

  • Sharing ideas, support with existing work, and for the creation of new composition
  • The demystifying of song-writing, and the processes involved in the creation of a piece of music
  • Team building activities
  • Supporting a greater awareness of collaboration, and how the different roles in music work towards bringing together a collective sound
  • Useful tools and tips for composition and creating arrangements
  • As a means for self expression, and collecting a group perspective
  • To create a unifying piece of work for representation of a specific topic, environment or event
