Upcoming speakers in Sydney, Byron Bay (Australia) and Los Angeles (USA)
for our Songsalive! songwriting critique workshops:

Come to regular Songsalive! workshops and develop collaborations, meet
industry guests, showcase and workshop your music for feedback in a
professional and supportive environment. Our workshops often feature
guest speakers representing all facets of the industry from A&R,
publishers, successful producers, CD production and distribution execs
and, of course, writers and composer who share their ideas, tips &
techniques on all aspects of the songwriting craft. The workshops are
open to all songwriters and music composers of all levels and music
genres and you don't have to be a Songsalive! member to attend. It is
usually best to register your attendance in advance. The first half is
solely dedicated to an in-the-round workshop where writers present one
song each - either on tape, CD or live - followed by an INDUSTRY
DISCUSSION with a guest speaker in the second half and plenty of time to
talk and network. SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKERS EVERY MONTH hand picked from
publishers to record company A&R, well-known songwriters, authors,
artists and music industry reps.
