Chicago Songsalive! Songwriters WorkshopThe Chicago Songsalive! Songwriters Workshop with Guest Speaker, Composer Andrew Edwards, following the Song Critique Session
Upcoming Songsalive! Event
SONGSALIVE! CHICAGO SONGWRITERS WORKSHOP
Songsalive!, the largest international non-profit organization supporting, promoting and educating songwriters and composers worldwide since 1997 brings you another songwriting critique workshop at the Beat Kitchen with guest speaker, composer Andrew Edwards, discussing "The Chameleon Workflow: Changing the Compositional Process for Film, Theater, Dance, and Beyond"!
Are you a songwriter willing to take your songs to the next level? Workshop your songs to be the best they can be, and get them out to the world. The Songsalive! Workshops are open to all songwriters, composers, musicians, singers and music lovers and we've been doing this for 15 years!!!!
This is your chance to develop your songwriting in a supportive and intimate environment, meet invaluable music industry experts, network with fellow members, and be part of your local songwriters community. The first half is solely dedicated to an in-the-round critique workshop where writers present one song each - either on CD or live - with feedback and critique given by a guest speaker or the Songsalive! moderator (who in-turn allows some comments from attendees also). The second half is dedicated to a Music Industry educational and informative discussion/talk, often with an industry guest speaker, and plenty of time to talk and network.

TIME: Starts 11:30 am SHARP. Ends at 2 pm. Please be on time.

***************************************************************
BE PREPARED
1. It is essential to register your attendance in advance so that the coordinator knows how many to expect and ensure a successful workshop for all.
2. Members and Non-Members can attend the Workshop.
3. Songwriters presenting a song for critique/pitch must:
a. Bring at least 30 typed copies of your lyric sheet (with full contact details)
b. bring your song on CD or perform live (bring your instrument - unplugged/no P.A). All CD's must be burned to work on a CD Player. Please check the CD first - if it won't play in your car CD then it won't work at the workshop.
c. have CD labeled with track number / and instruments tuned and ready.
4.How Song critiques are chosen: Song Critiques are randomly chosen from those who arrive and are fully signed in before 11:35am (not whoever arrives first). We try and start sign in at 11:30am (depends on our set up needs). This does not guarantee we will get to all songs within workshop (depends on numbers). Any arrivals post 11:35am will be on a wait list and if we have the time will try to fit those in. Anyone who arrives post 11:45pm will not be eligible to receive a song critique, even wait listed. Workshop starts on time, 11:30am.
5. Do I have to get a song critique? No. You don't need to present a song for critique to benefit from our workshop. Watch, listen, participate and meet fellow peers. It's all part of learning.
6. We do not support late arrivals. Please be on time to be fair to our participants and guests and stay from beginning to end.

MORE ABOUT THE SONGSALIVE! WORKSHOPS
Our guest speakers represent 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.
Some topics include song structure, song production, lyric writing, finding inspiration, songs and the media, promoting your music online, how to tour, how to get songs in film and television, performing at your best.
Our workshops are designed for songwriters and composers (from budding 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 great networking 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.
