Songwriting Workshops
10:30AM - Noon on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Staff mentors lead small group workshops of 10-15 people where each attendee can share a song and receive feedback.
Speed Mentoring
2:30-3:30PM on Thursday and Friday
2:30-4PM on Saturday
Each morning, attendees sign up on a first come, first served basis for 15 minute speed mentoring sessions that afternoon. Staff mentors are available to provide feedback, give industry/career advice, answer questions, and more.
**You must read the mentor bios ahead of time and know who you want to meet with before you sign up in the morning.**
Be punctual and respect your designated 15 minute time slot so all attendees are able to take advantage of this opportunity to meet one-on-one with our staff mentors. If you want feedback on your music, bring a recording on a device with a headphone jack. We ask that you do not play live during the speed mentoring sessions as it can be very distracting for those around you.
