The Push is excited to invite you to our FREE Song Writing Workshops for culturally and linguistically diverse young people this January.
We are looking for a group of culturally diverse young people (aged 12-25) who want to develop their song writing skills, while sharing their culture and stories.
Taking place at The Push Office at Collingwood Yards, our workshop facilitator Komang will guide you through writing lyrics for verses – and then collectively writing a chorus with the other participants.
Gain experience in song writing from these music industry pros and hear advice on how you can amplify your own voice in music.
The themes explored in these discussions will also help inform The Push and VicHealth on how to better support your communities in the future.
Places are limited so please register ASAP, we will be prioritising First Nations peoples, as well as other culturally and linguistically diverse music makers.
As a part of your registration, we will ask you to submit a link to a sound or song that reminds you of your upbringing, to share in the workshop.
Participants can have their vocals recorded to help us capture the story telling on the day. This recording may be used in a variety of ways, but you will remain unidentifiable unless you give permission.
Can’t make this session? Two other workshops will be taking place:
16 January – Footscray Community Arts Centre, with facilitators NYUON and Orange Orange
17 January – The Band Booth with facilitators JULAI and Mulalo
⚠️ While the program is free, registrations are essential to not miss out!
