Teen Songwriting Program


  • Rotary Centre for The Arts 421 Cawston Avenue Kelowna, BC, V1Y 6Z1 Canada (map)

This is a five-day program that focuses on songwriting through self expression. We all have ideas and messages to share. Why not do this through a song, either a group collaboration, duo, or solo song.

This program is designed to engage, empower, and connect youth to express their ideas and creativity through the process of songwriting. For all musical levels.

With the support of guest artists, learn and explore basic aspects of songwriting, song arrangements, genre of music and lyrical approach as well as basic stage & sound techniques. At the end of the week, perform and record your masterpieces and share this via the RCA web channels.
