Collaboration Beyond Songwriting: A Journey with Francesca de Valence and Emma Bosworth
Collaboration in the musical realm often focuses on the process of writing a song together. But as Francesca de Valence and Emma Bosworth shared during the recent co-production of their songwriting retreat, collaboration can extend far beyond just crafting songs - it can foster professional partnerships, exchange a diversity of skill sets, and create innovative growth opportunities for both people and their communities. Join our next Songwriting Retreat here and find out more about our online co-writing course here. About Emma Bosworth: Emma is a singer-songwriter, founder of Wild Mountains Songs and National Project Manager of Green Music Australia. Emma is a long time friend of Wild Mountains Trust. In her teenage years, she attended multiple earth education camps managed by the Trust, and she says it was a major turning point in her life. In 2016, Emma had a yearning to create time and space to create new music; she knew Wild Mountains could provide a space with big creative impact. Using her collaborative heart, she asked some friends to join her on a weekend away amongst the trees to co-write and take some deep breaths. It was the start of something really special.Find out more about Wild Mountains Songs Find out more about Wild Mountains Trust Find out more and contact us at I Heart Songwriting Club & Francesca de Valence.Get your creativity, confidence, and songwriting output flowing.
