SONG WRITING

The hit squad

A practical course for songwriters committed to producing quality popular music. You will write at least one song a day, either on your own or in collaboration with your fellow students. You should be able to accompany yourself on an instrument.

Places on this course will be allocated through a selection process. To be considered for a place, please send audio samples of your work (CD, MP3 or links to web pages) to thehurst@arvonfoundation.org or The Hurst, Clunton, Craven Arms, Shropshire SY7 0JA. You must send samples by 1 June and you will be notified if you have been allocated a place on the course within three weeks.

Priority will be given to those who have not attended one of Ray and Marion’s courses before. Please note that the course was postponed from our 2009 programme and availability is therefore very limited.

Single room: £595
Shared room: £545
