Workshop | One Song, Many Voices with Emma Joyce Brooks

Join facilitator Emma Brooks for a lively, inclusive workshop where we’ll explore singing techniques and the art of songwriting — no experience needed! Together, we’ll experiment with melody, rhythm, and lyric writing, before combining our ideas into an original group song. Along the way, you’ll learn tips for building confidence in your voice, unlocking creativity, and working collaboratively in a supportive environment. Whether you’ve sung on stage, only in the shower, or never at all, this session is all about having fun, trying something new, and leaving with a song that’s truly ours.
