As well as singing and performing I also am lucky enough to teach! And I really love it.
Percussionist, singer songwriter and music coach Rob Bray and I run songwriting workshops across the UK. We've had real success so far. It's been a massive learning curve for me as I've had to really look at what it is that makes me write and how I write. Rob and I have broken down our own processes of songwriting and deliver a one day and also a two day course passing on our tools, tips and creative ideas to help you write songs from scratch and to develop songs you may have already began.
We've had people on the course who have never written a song before and they've gone away having created TWO! Rob and I are big on support and encouragement and giving you practical tools that you can actually use. We work on finding melody, chord structures, finding words, sculpting verses and run drumming workshops to get us all awake and full of energy.
These workshops really do work and I'm hugely proud of them as they are helping me unlock my own blocks and find inspiration to write new songs. If you'd like to get involved check out the website www.thesongwritingworkshop.co.uk.
I also teach singing too and one to one songwriting lessons in and around Bristol and the southwest. I am completely passionate about this too, so if you're thinking of getting a singing teacher in Bristol or Somerset...get in touch at jane@janetaylor.co.uk
