Applications are now being accepted for the BMI Contemporary Professional Songwriting Workshop, which kicks off Wednesday, February 2. For 8 consecutive weeks*, participants will meet at BMIs New York offices (7 World Trade Center/250 Greenwich St, 30th Floor) on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Songwriter Billy Sideman will lead the workshop, which will help aspiring songwriters hone composition skills by focusing on lyric writing, music theory, and arrangement/production techniques used in contemporary songwriting. The class will consistently provide constructive feedback, stimulating assignments and helpful literature.
Class size is limited, and while there is no cost to apply, accepted participants will pay a $25 fee for the course. To apply, mail a two-song demo and lyric sheet to:
BMI Attn: W/P Relations/Songwriters Workshop 7 World Trade Center 250 Greenwich Street New York, NY 10007-0030. Or email lyric sheets with a link to streaming music to RSVP@bmi.com, with Songwriter Workshop in the subject line. Sorry, mp3s cannot be accepted.
