About This Event:

Are you a budding songwriter searching for ways to better express yourself musically through song? Do you want to learn more about the art of arrangement and how to bring your songs to life in a collaborative and fun environment?

Join us for a hands-on workshop on songwriting and arrangement where you will learn important tools for crafting the kinds of songs that you want to write!


In this workshop you will:

  • Work with experienced musicians and songwriters
  • Collaborate with other young musicians
  • Learn how to approach songwriting using different perspectives, narrative styles, and musical forms
  • Gain insights into the importance of breaking song convention and methods to give your music its own unique style.


Whether you’re an experienced songwriter or just starting out, this workshop will provide you with valuable insights and skills to continue your creative development. It’s also a great opportunity to network with other songwriters and get feedback on your work.


Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today!


About the Facilitator:

Tito Espinosa

Tito is a songwriting, guitar playing, record producing, music/film/art nerd from New York City! His love of playing, listening to, and teaching music has helped him forge countless collaborative opportunities and he’s played an equally countless number of gigs in and around New York City, Sydney, and wherever else it is that he and his guitar find themselves!

For years he performed as “Chorizo Slim and The Boogie Blues Band” and now he releases music through his small label “Boogie Strange Records”.

His passion for folk and blues music has given him a distinct “people” centred approach. He believes that “music comes from people and people can come from anywhere”. So join him for a chance to explore your voice through music!
