Songwriting Camp

Ready to join a band and record your first track?

Step into our professional studios to turn your musical ideas into a professionally recorded reality. In this four-day summer holiday project, you’ll collaborate with other young musicians to write, rehearse, and record an original song from scratch. 

What you’ll gain:

  • Songwriting skills: Learn the basics of melody, rhythm, and lyric writing to craft your unique sound.
  • Rehearsal Techniques: Build confidence playing together and learn how to prepare a track for the studio.
  • Professional Recording: Step into our recording booth and experience the process of bringing a song to life.
  • Creative Collaboration: Learn the art of listening, sharing ideas, and solving creative problems together.

Who it’s for: 

Young people aged 11–14 who feel comfortable singing, playing an instrument, or writing lyrics. You don’t need to be a pro – just come with an imagination and a willingness to share your ideas in a band setting.

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…

If you need help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help. Find out how you can get support. If you are using a bursary to pay for the project, please ensure you arrange this with the Advice Base with plenty of time before the start of the project.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We are committed to supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people, those with medical conditions, access requirements or any lived experience that may require adaptation, support or sensitivity. If there is anything you would like to let us (our youth workers, tutors or staff) know that will support your enjoyment and access, you can do so by emailing us at advicebase@roundhouse.org.uk, and we will contact you to discuss further how to best support your engagement.
