Song Lab with Zara Nunn
Songwriting and Composition Workshop – Create, Collaborate & Compose
Join PRS awarded composer, Zara Nunn, and MMF staff for a day of devising, lyric writing and collaborative composition. Expect a fun, inclusive atmosphere as we work together to create a song from scratch. All abilities are welcome; everyone will be able to contribute – whether you read music or not – with parts accessible for all levels of singer and instrumentalist. We will be bold, creative, loud and even raucous as together we create and showcase a brand new piece of music.
