What happens at a Pro7ect Masterclass?
Pro7ect Masterclasses cut to the chase and get right into the heart of songwriting.
★★★★★ “Working with top producers and artists opens the door to a level I’d always aspired to.”
- Paul Edwards (singer/songwriter/producer)
The Pro7ect Masterclass Experience
Saturday, 10am–4pm
Rockfield Studios, Coach House Studio
A Pro7ect Masterclass is an immersive day of songwriting, collaboration and studio production led by an established music industry professional.
Open to artists of all experience levels, the day is designed to help you develop your creative instincts, strengthen your confidence and understand how a song moves from its first idea to a recorded production.
You do not need previous songwriting, production or studio experience. You simply need curiosity, enthusiasm and a willingness to take part.
Arrival at Rockfield
Artists are asked to arrive at the Coach House Studio shortly before 10am.
Tea and coffee will be available, giving you time to meet the Pro7ect team and your fellow participants, settle into the studio and become familiar with the space before the session begins.
This is not a conventional classroom. The Masterclass takes place inside the legendary Coach House Studio where Oasis recorded their album ‘Morning Glory’ - the home of the actual “Wonder Wall”
You will spend the day learning by creating, listening, asking questions and experiencing the songwriting and recording process from inside the room.
Morning Session: Songwriting and Collaboration
The morning session focuses on the creative foundations of songwriting and collaborative work.
Led by the P7 Headline Producer, the group will explore practical songwriting approaches, creative decision-making, communication within a writing room and the techniques used to develop an initial idea into a complete song.
Participants will then break into smaller teams to begin writing collaboratively.
This is your opportunity to contribute lyrics, melodies, chords, rhythms, concepts or instrumental ideas, while learning how different creative personalities work together.
There is no pressure to perform or arrive with finished material. The emphasis is on participation, experimentation and discovering what becomes possible when a group of artists begins with a blank page.
A buffet lunch is served at approximately 1pm.
Afternoon Session: From Song Idea to Studio Recording
During the afternoon, the focus moves from songwriting into production and recording.
The ideas developed during the morning session will be taken into the studio, where the Headline Producer will guide the group through the process of turning them into a recorded track.
You will see how arrangements are developed, sounds are chosen, performances are captured and production decisions are made.
Rather than simply being told how records are created, you will experience the process as it happens.
The afternoon may include recording vocals, instruments, programmed elements or live performances, depending on the song and the skills within the group. You will also gain insight into studio workflow, microphone technique, communication with performers and the creative choices that help a song take shape.
This is where the studio comes alive.
You will be able to ask questions, observe professional techniques and contribute to the recording as the song moves from an idea in the room to a production through the speakers.
Every Masterclass Is Different
No two Pro7ect Masterclasses are the same.
Each day is shaped by the Headline Producer, the participants in the room and the music created during the session. The experience is responsive, collaborative and driven by the ideas, questions and enthusiasm of the group.
That unpredictability is part of what makes the day so valuable. You are not watching a rehearsed demonstration. You are witnessing and participating in a real creative process.
By the end of the day, you will have gained practical songwriting and production knowledge, greater confidence in a professional studio environment and a clearer understanding of how collaborative songs and recordings are made.
The Masterclass finishes at 4pm.
