Schools & institutions
Overview

It all starts from the initial idea. Songwriting is the craft underneath everything and connects listeners emotionally to your music. I hold a BA (Hons) in Songwriting, write with and for other artists, and release my own music as XNewRoman. Students learn to write songs that are genuinely theirs, then to finish them.

What they leave with

Finished, release-ready songs and a clear artistic voice.

Tailored to you

Songwriting does not run in fixed-week blocks. Every programme is shaped around the individual student or institution, its length, level and focus tailored to you, whether that is a few focused sessions or an ongoing development programme.
