ABOUT US

Music Mentors Australia delivers artist-led collaborative songwriting workshops for organisations, community programs and supported settings across Victoria.Music Mentors Australia

Each workshop is a structured, professionally guided session where participants write, perform and record an original song together. No musical experience is required.

Workshops are facilitated by Warner Chappel signed singer-songwriter Steve Boyd and ARIA Platinum record producer Glenn Goldsmith. Together they combine national music industry experience with extensive work across education, community and supported environments. The focus is on participation and shared achievement

GROUP SONGWRITING.

Our model draws on contemporary songwriting practice and professional recording methods. Participants collaborate in group lyric writing, melody development, song arrangement and performance, culminating in a live recording of the original work at the conclusion of the workshop. A Soundcloud link to the song will be made availble to all participants 48 hours after the workshop has concluded.

Team Building Through Songwriting

Group songwriting is a highly effective way to strengthen teams. When people sing and create together, energy lifts, barriers drop, and participants move from observing to fully taking part. Writing and performing a song as a group builds trust, improves communication, and creates a genuine sense of unity. The impact extends beyond the workshop.

LIVE RECORDING SESSION
The workshop concludes with a two-track live recording of the original song created and performed by the group. Participants and staff receive access to the recording via a private SoundCloud link.
