Songwriting & Composition
Melody, lyric and identity, release-ready songs that are truly yours.
The Sphinx, my single as XNewRoman.
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.
Finished, release-ready songs and a clear artistic voice.
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.
