Elevate is a songwriting programme designed to provide young musicians with the tools and guidance they need to pursue their passion for music.

The programme includes instruction on the fundamentals of playing a variety of instruments and songwriting, as well as opportunities for hands-on learning and practice. Participants will have the chance to collaborate with other young musicians, receive feedback from experienced mentors, and perform their original songs in a supportive environment.

In addition to the technical aspects of music, the programme also places a strong emphasis on building confidence and community among young musicians. The informal and inclusive setting of the programme provides a space for young musicians to connect with one another and form supportive relationships that can last a lifetime.

Whether you are just starting out or you are a seasoned songwriter looking to refine your skills, the Oh Yeah Music Centre's songwriting programme has something to offer. With experienced mentors, a supportive community, and a focus on hands-on learning, this programme provides young musicians with the resources they need to achieve their musical goals.

Elevate runs on Wednesday from 5-7pm in the Oh Yeah Music Centre at the cost of £8.50 per week or on an annual subscription, open to young musicians from 11-18 years old. To find out more or to get involved in the programme email caoimhe@ohyeahbelfast.com
