Summer Workshop | Rhythm & Lyrics

Rhythm and Lyrics is a music workshop led by Steinunn Jónsdóttir and Hrafnkell Örn Guðjónsson. The workshop is based on a songwriting course they teach at Fellaskóli, where electronic music meets Icelandic lyric writing. Participants will gain a good insight into how a song is created by composing a beat together in a computer program and writing lyrics with the dedicated assistance of the instructors. Those who are interested will get to try their hand at recording singing or rapping, and the result will be a song composed and performed by the children themselves. The workshop is for children born in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. The workshop is fully booked. You can register on the waiting list on Abler; see the registration link above. The workshop is therefore a good foundation for the songwriters and lyricists of the future, and in it, the children acquire various tools and techniques that they can use in the creative process. Participants do not need to have any background in music or songwriting, just a burning desire to experiment and a willingness to let their creativity run wild. Those who play an instrument are, however, welcome to bring it with them.
