This year October Training Week was held in Skopje.
From October 9 to 15, songwriting and band coaching workshops were held as part of the project Music Connects, co-funded by the European Union.
The songwriting workshops were run by Rokacademie students from the Netherlands. The students with their enthusiasm and incredibly good approach to the students encouraged them to approach the songwriting process openly. Many new lyrics were written through the creative interactive workshops in which 20 students from Roma Rock School and Mitrovica Rock School participated. Some of the new texts were composed with a melody and practiced during band coaching under the mentorship of teachers and band coaches from Roma Rock School, Mitrovica Rock School and Rokacademie.
On October 14th we had a showcase in La Caña, super cool place in the old bazaar totally open for young artists, where the new songs were performed in front of an audience.
