Beat production with FINNA
2025-11-16 12:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Frauenmusikzentrum, Große Brunnenstr. 63A, Hamburg, 22763
You often hear that all you need to produce is a laptop, interface and cell phone. But what then? Do you often find yourself opening DAWs and being overwhelmed by technical problems that completely take you out of your creative flow? Or do you have one creative idea after another, but want to do more than just a voice memo on your cell phone?
In this workshop you will learn all the basics you need to produce your own little demo. It will be about basic operation, how to record your vocals and an instrument, how to make a small arrangement with samples and the keyboard presets and how to easily sample sounds from all over your home.
Come along and discover the world of your own sound.

2025-11-26 18:30 - 22:00 | Frauenmusikzentrum, Große Brunnenstr. 63A, Hamburg, 22763
Wrote the first song! And now? Where can I protect it, e.g. from someone discovering it on YouTube and using it for themselves? All theory is gray, but not boring!
In this workshop, I want to give you some information that is difficult to obtain in its complexity.
What is the difference between composition and recording? What does GEMA do? What does GVL do? Is it worth it for me? How does a woman* get the money from the collecting societies? Which ones make sense? How do I license music for websites, YouTube, TicToc etc.? Do I need a publishing deal? Etc. pp….

As I also work a lot with families, I will try to package this dry information in a way that makes it fun and makes it stick. Join in, ask questions, bring specific interests – you decide what you need!

Instructor: Sandra Kötterheinrich, teacher and passionate music lover, bad guitar and saxophone player, enthusiastic singer, founding member of “Schinken”, who unfortunately were not granted a long career. In the industry for over 20 years, mainly in music publishing, but also label experience.
Hobbyhorse: The musical work: Everything to do with composition: GEMA, licensing, rights clearing, auditing etc.

f*mz and HausDrei invite you to an evening full of improvised music, sound experience, new people and creativity. With FEM*Jam, we aim to empower, inspire, and connect FLINTA* persons in their musical journey. These jam sessions are also a wonderful space to experiment, try out different instruments and music genres and showcase your passions. It’s not about playing your instrument perfectly but about creating together, listening, inspiring one another, and sharing experiences. Everyone* is welcome to participate. A respectful interaction is essential. The stage is reserved for FLINTA* individuals, but the audience is open to all genders!
FLINTA* stands for Female – Lesbian – Nonbinary – Trans (-Agender) -*.
All 2025 Dates: 06.03./05.06./02.10./04.12. Doors 7:30 PM, the sessions starts at 8PM until 10 PM.
The FEM*Jam sessions take place in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. We want to support, inspire, and connect musicians in their music. Here’s a glimpse into one of the recent sessions. However, it’s worth mentioning that every session is full of surprises and unique energy! Come by and see for yourself-or even better, just jam along!
As we strive for a smooth and well-organized experience, we rely on professional assistance and are grateful for any financial support. The sessions are primarily conducted on a voluntary basis. Since the preparation, execution, and follow-up require a significant amount of organization, time, and (technical) expertise, we aim to maintain a level of professionalism that we’d like to fairly compensate.
