THE COURAGE TO WRITE AND RECORD YOUR SONGS
A GOOD SONG IS A GOOD SONG IS A GOOD SONG
This workshop will introduce you to the basic elements of song writing and studio production. It is a unique opportunity to work with two top industry specialists in state of the art studios.
The workshop has been created by Lorrayn de Peyer Director Founder of THE COURAGE TO SING who has thirty years of experience as and singer and songwriter in the music business. In this workshop she teams up with her own studio engineer to bring you the most up to date techniques and ideas for your songs.
As the title suggests, if you have written a good song it usually works in any musical idiom, with any instrumentation, in any style and with any arrangement.
It is the aim of this workshop for students to collaborate in the writing of such songs. Each student will co-write two songs during the workshop and have the opportunity to record a demo of both of them that they can use in the future.
You will be encouraged to develop your own ideas and work as a team to write a contemporary popular music as a way of learning about the following components:
- Rhythm
- Harmony
- Melody
- Lyrics
- Style
- Arrangement
Lorrayn brings a gentle and holistic approach to song writing using concept of connection to source, the universe, God/Goddess and emotional well being to help you come from the essence of your creativity and authenticity

HOLIDAYS
FIND YOUR VOICE - Carcassonne, South West France
-
14 - 18 JULY 2010
We have teamed up with THE FRENCH HOUSE PARTY to bring you this very special five day singing holiday course led by Lorrayn de Peyer.
Set in the beautiful and tranquil rural countryside of the Languedoc, South West France, you will be staying in a 200 year old farmhouse sited amidst sunflower fields on the edge of the medieval walled city of Carcassonne The location couldn't be more perfect for singing and finding your vocal authenticity and whether you want to sing for personal development or just for fun, this course is open to adults of all ages and abilities.
Using the unique holistic and personal approach of THE COURAGE TO SING, Lorrayn will help train your voice by using traditional breathing, relaxation and vocal techniques. You'll also learn how to control the power, range and volume of your voice, as well as explore a variety of musical styles from pop and gospel to jazz and classical. You don't have to know how to read music, hold a tune or even keep rhythm. Singing is combined with complementary health techniques to promote your creativity, confidence, self expression and natural health.
The holiday takes place in July and coincides with the Carcassonne Festival de la Cite, a musical extravaganza which takes place every year and features international musical performers and stars. As an added bonus, we have included in the price, a ticket to see live music at one of the evening events held in the open air amphitheatre of Carcassonne.
