We have seen how a song can change the world. We have seen how a song has drawn people together, raised faith, championed a cause, stirred people to action, stirred people’s souls and their hearts. These songs have been anointed, and have carried such a powerful statement and melody that have resonated with so many people, that they have become songs sung by thousands and in corporate gathers, yet still remaining personal prayers and declarations. These songs, and therefore the songwriters behind these songs, are part of something integral for the Church and for the world. They are writing things on our hearts and in our minds that cause us to respond and cause us to say ‘amen’. This music moves us, it stirs us, it melts us, it grows us, it helps give voice to us, and it helps us draw near to God. Music is powerful, these songs are powerful.
Assistant Event Manager Jack Robson explained further, “The songwriters behind these songs, and all those involved in creating these songs, have been good stewards of what God has given them. They have incorporated the message and a melody and continue to nurture the gifts and skills that they have in order to help them craft the songs that we sing.”
aStepFWD is proud to be hosting this Songwriting Masterclass which will be exploring some of these very same gifts and skills, dissecting the art and craft behind creating songs, from melodies and messages to the components that make a good song. We will be joined by many leading voices in this industry who carry years of experience to their name. Some of those joining us for the day are Martin Smith, Graham Kendrick, Noel Robinson, Lou Fellingham, Wale Adenuga, Lucy Grimble, Nick Herbert, Jake Isaac, Les Moir, Nicky Brown and Donna Akodu. The sessions will all take place online and will be delivered in a variety of formats from panel discussions to 1-on-1 interviews, all aimed and designed to provide you with opportunities to learn from their own knowledge and experiences.
So why should you attend this Songwriting Masterclass? Well, we never stop on our journey with Jesus. There is always more. We can all keep growing. And these sessions will give you access to a fantastic group of songwriters to learn educate, inspire and empower you toward that next life-changing song just waiting to be poured out.
