OPPORTUNITIES for MUSICIANS, MUSIC THERAPISTS, and MUSIC EDUCATORS

In its mission to restore music-making into everyday life, Songwriting Works™ offers a variety of services and opportunities for musicians of all ages, backgrounds and musical genres.

Hands-on and long-distance learning workshops, trainings and individual coaching provide musicians with new and innovative approaches to being of service to one’s muse and one’s community through music.

Programs address the ‘nuts and bolts’ of facilitation, composition, improvisation and performance.

Musicians who may benefit from exploring the physical, cognitive, social and spiritual benefits of community music-making and musical leadership include:

• Seasoned professional composers and performers
• Certified music and arts therapists
• Music educators (K-life long learning)
• Aspiring and emerging performing artists
• Music and musical theater students
• Retirees with musical passions to ignite

SW's Founding Director Judith-Kate Friedman offers MindAlert and other trainings open to musicians interested in enhancing (or beginning) music programs with older adults, persons with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, and intergenerational and community groups. For upcoming trainings see calendar.

 

In 2008-09 Songwriting Works plans to offer facilitator certification trainings. Professional musicians and music therapists with composing, performance and teaching backgrounds, and others with comparable skills, will be eligible.
