Songwriting sessions #1
Starting this Sunday we will be doing a weekly Songwriting session for our Band Le Mec. Let you in the process of how we write, and record. We hope to cover the concepts of writing, music theory, recording and refining our songs and our own skills. Join us as I think this process has something to teach all of us!
