ABOUT THE SONGSALIVE! WORKSHOPS
Songsalive! holds workshops where songwriters gather to share their songs, gain feedback and develop relationships within the songwriting communities. The workshop includes an in-the-round song critique session where writers present one song each - either on tape, CD or live - and receive professional, constructive feedback on your song by a music industry professional.

Details on our workshops www.songsalive.org/workshops and www.songsalive.org/losangeles.

Our workshops are designed for songwriters and composers (from entry level to professional) who have written songs, or are in the songwriting stage, who want to further their craft, gain feedback on their music, and potentially get their songs out to the world. However, we also have singers, musicians, and non music types who attend, as it's a greatnetworking opportunity (singers looking for songwriters, or musicians looking for songs, as examples).

The goals of the workshop are about
1) the SONG and making it the best it can be
2) providing a community for our members to gather, network, collaborate and learn.
