Girls I Rate: The Open Fund for Organisations

GIR Arts Academy & PRS Foundation presents a 2 day song writing weekender for females 16-25 yrs. The weekender will be run by industry professionals, that aims to empower and equip young female writers with the fundamental practices, techniques and key skills needed in their everyday lives as song writers. This includes preparing concepts, song titles, understanding their process and how they can identify a structured and prolific way of writing, as well as a basic understanding of how the business as writers work E.G splits, registration of songs etc.

The Academy focuses on a diverse mix of talented females which encourages collaboration and bring girls of different genres and backgrounds together to learn and support each other. It will also teach commercial music writing across multiple genres of music. At the end of the weekend curators will not only record a professional demo of their work but the works will also be showcased to A&R and publishers already affiliated with GIR.
