Songwriting workshops
The approach
Deih’s workshops are practical, conversational and welcoming. They explore how people, places, memories, observations, experiences and characters can become the beginning of an original song.
Participants are guided to find a song’s heart, discover a point of view, develop images and detail, and decide what belongs in a lyric—and what is better left out.
No prior experience is required. Experienced songwriters are welcome too.
Workshop one
A focused session for songwriters who want to look more closely at the story, character, voice and emotional centre already present in an idea or draft.
Workshop two
An accessible workshop for beginners, curious writers and community groups, available as one extended session or a series across several days.
Practical details
Workshops can be adapted for adults, young people, aspiring songwriters, community groups and festival audiences. They can sit alongside a performance or work as a standalone program.
For a comfortable session, Deih needs a quiet space with chairs. A whiteboard or flipchart is useful where available. Participants can bring a notebook or device, and instruments are welcome but not required. Deih provides an acoustic guitar; larger rooms may need a PA and microphone.
