ADVANCED SONGWRITING TECHNIQUES
This 90-minute ONLINE advanced songwriting workshop is led by experienced professional Melbourne songwriters, and is designed to help participants move into a more intentional and distinctive songwriting craft.

Through a mix of analysis, guided exercises, and peer feedback, the workshop will challenge writers to refine their voice, break predictable patterns, and deepen the connection between music and meaning.
By the end of the session, participants will have developed new material, expanded their creative toolkit, and gained practical strategies for elevating their songwriting to a professional level.

LIVE MUSIC TRAINING: Developing your stage persona
Develop your on-stage presence with professional musician and artist Rhysics, alongside alt-pop performing artist and producer Romaeo, who brings theatrics through costume, props, and performance expertise to help artists translate their creative identity into confident, engaging live shows.
This practical workshop supports artists to explore, and embody a stage persona that feels authentic, confident, and aligns with their music, and personality. Learn how to connect with a live audience, communicate your story between and within songs, and make intentional performance choices that amplify who you are as an artist.
Designed with access at the centre, this session explores confidence-building techniques, performance strategies, and ways to bring your music to life on stage in a supportive environment.
