Song Flow: Vocal Play & Song Writing Workshop with Martha Tilston & Amy Cox

Free your voice. Spark your creativity.

Through vocal play and songwriting games, we will open up new ideas and create original songs together.

Whether you’re completely new to songwriting or have experience, this day is about opening creative pathways, reconnecting with your voice, and enjoying the process of making music together.

We work gently and collaboratively, creating a space where all voices are valued. There is no pressure to perform, need to read music, or expectation of previous singing or songwriting experience.

The workshop is led by experienced songwriter Martha Tilston and vocal facilitator Amy Cox, who bring a combined wealth of experience in songwriting, vocal improvisation & play, group facilitation, and nurturing safe creative spaces.

“Martha has the power to draw an audience into her world, leaving all those present with a smile, and a few issues to ponder too” Timeout magazine

“I have received so much from my voice journey with Amy. I feel like I've been gently companioned and skillfully guided into a relationship with my voice which feels authentic and lasting, and without the familiar right and wrong narratives and facilitated by a good dose of playfulness. A door has been opened and I’m feeling very grateful. I think everyone should have such a voice ally!” Voice workshop participant
