THE GUESTS Workshop:

Lucy Woodward – voice
Henry Hey – Piano

Teaching / Workshop

In their workshop, Lucy and Henry will address the collaborative and creative process. This applies to singers and bands working together, singers and accompanists working together, and to songwriting as a collaboration. They will talk about the various ways that individual musicians or bands can better accompany singers and be supportive. They will also talk about how singers can better adapt to working with an accompanist or a band and how everyone can be prepared in advance to make that process as smooth and effective as possible. They will delve into the songwriting relationship and what it means to be creating together for the first time with someone whom you maybe have never met and certainly have never collaborated with. Lucy and Henry can lend insight on ways to find a common ground with diverse collaborators. Aside from that, they will also share some precious gems of wisdom gained from their lifetimes in music and life experience. This will include areas such as working as a side person, auditioning, professionalism, learning how to meet people in a new (big music scene) city, how to get your start, how to form and foster great relationships, and much more. These are cherry-picked pearls that Lucy and Henry have found invaluable and they are happy to pass these along to students. All are welcome and questions are encouraged.
