Why Attend A Workshop Meeting?

Picture
Because feedback on your music can be valuable...
​​before you spend money on an expensive, mastered CD or album
before you pitch music to a high-end production music library
before you send lyrics or tracks to your collaborator
before you attend an important music conference
before you send that mp3 to a music supervisor
before playing it for a publisher the first time
before you put your songs on social media
before presenting it to a recording artist
before you perform your new song live
​
Feedback is also helpful when you're trying to get your song or composition to the next level.

​Remember that opinions expressed at the Workshop Meetings 
​and by the NSAI Pro Evaluators are just that:
Opinions.

Feedback can be useful when "fresh ears" hear your song for the first time.
Even full-time, professional composers and successful hit songwriters often seek feedback from
​trusted sources before their music is ready to be presented to the world.

So, bring your works-in-progress and rough recordings to the next Workshop Meeting.

HISTORY OF NSAI
In 1967 there were approximately 80 songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee. 
Eddie Miller, who wrote the classic song “Please Release Me, Let Me Go,”
was determined that the songwriters needed a “voice.” 
Over lunch, he, Buddy Mize and Bill Brock envisioned the Nashville Songwriters Association.  

The first organizational meeting was held at the Old Professional's Club on Music Row.
Forty-one songwriters were founding members of the organization including
Kris Kristofferson, Marijohn Wilkin, Jerry Chestnut, Danny Dill, Liz and Casey Anderson,
Felice
and Boudleaux Bryant, and Ted Harris.
