Camp

Black Belt Summer Songwriting Camp is a chance for students from around the world to participate in a songwriting camp in Sweden, one of today’s more notable hot spots when it comes to pop music. NEW: We now also arrange online songwriting camps! More information on dedicated page (follow the link)

What Is It?

The camp is a chance for you to deepen your understanding of the business and develop your skills as a songwriter. You’ll team up with students from the music production programme at Örebro College of Music to create songs, and present them for a panel consisting of publishers, media and music producers. This panel will give you feedback, and maybe even an interesting proposal…

Who’s behind it?

Black Belt Summer Songwriting Camp is managed by Iphigenia Publishing. A publisher focusing on educational literature and learning events. Initiators of the camp are Johan Wahlander, Jan Sparby and Drew Young (Better Than Pretend LLC, New Orleans, US). Johan Wahlander and Jan Sparby are the authors of the Black Belt Songwriting book series.

We Had a Wonderful Time!

"...We all have something unique to add to the mix. I’ll contribute with what I’m really good at."
