Songwriting Courses

Luísa Sobral organizes songwriting courses in different formats, ranging from in-person sessions lasting a few hours, to digital workshops, as well as 4-day retreats held in various regions of the country.

Aimed at those who have already written songs (even if not professionally) and are able to accompany themselves on an instrument, these experiences offer valuable tools and a variety of writing techniques to explore and develop creative skills, under the guidance of one of Portugal’s most respected artists and composers.

For more information about upcoming dates, please write to retiro@luisasobral.com.

“The retreat helped me a lot to deconstruct several prejudices I had in relation to songwriting. I came home with a slight desire to compose more often, without it being a duty or an effort.”

“I came back with the certainty that the retreat gave me great tools and, in addition, it made me rethink my way of composing, of thinking more about the lyrics, the chords. It was a very important moment for me.”

“Thank you for the opportunity and, especially, for the closeness with which I was treated. I would repeat it every month if I had the possibility!”

“It was certainly one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.”

“The time with Luísa was a very productive and welcoming moment. I felt totally comfortable showing the vulnerability of the process of each exercise and fortunate to have such attentive ears to her.”

“I say and repeat, it was one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. It took me a few days to put my feet on the ground, I kept reliving those days. I think I was lucky to be in such a cool group with so many talented people, I cried with emotion several times when listening to my colleagues’ songs.”

“I feel like I came equipped with a lot of resources to unlock creativity, ideas to start songs!”
