Why online and not face to face?
We hope to do loads of these songwriting sessions face to face as soon as it is safe to do so. The benefit of holding workshops online is that it reduces the cost and travel time for participants and dramatically reduces the environmental impact of the course in general.
Can anyone take part in these courses?
The Creative Scotland funded courses have sold out.
I've never written a song before can I take part?
Yes... we'll teach you to write songs.
I can't play a musicial instrument can I take part?
Yes... we can help you create the music either by writing it with you or teaching you to use an app like Garageband to digitally create the music.
I can't sing can I take part?
Everyone can sing. We only ask that you have a go. We can help you with your singing and, in the extremely unlikely situaltion that you can't sing, one of your tutors or a fellow participant can help sing your song.
Could I book a Bird on a Wire style course for a festival, conference or staff training day?
Yes. We can tailor a course to suit your needs. Anything from an hour long workshop to a series of workshops that run throughout a week. Please get in touch.
In the application for funded places what do you mean by professional and semi-professional?
Firstly it has nothing at all to do with ability. It is about how you earn your living.
I cannot afford the course is there anyway I can attend?
Yes. Get in touch via info@birdonawire.info we can direct you to funding and, in limited cases, we may be able to fund your place ourselves.
