- Songwriting 24 !

The DH Records Songwriting-Seminar has got 20 years of tradition and some references: participants have made it to the Paul McCartney Academy Liverpool or the Pop-Academy Mannheim. Others won competitions or produced their own CD after attending the seminar.

You don't have to be a professional musician to take part in this seminar. Many have written their first song here. We like to work „learning by doing". There will be tutorials for song arrangement and chords etc., before everybody starts writing. We are ready to support you, if you like. And the special thing also for advanced songwriters is the inspiring atmosphere, the cooperation and that every song gets recorded straight away. The mixes will be published on our website later on. Impressions from the recent seminars you can find here: >>>

- Sound Advice

If you need a quality sound for your band, your PA or your installation you can book on-site sound advice. A high quality sound is the basis for good final results. And this is where experience is required.
