Songwriting Workshop on June 11, 2011

Songwriting Workshops by admin

A lot of people through the years have asked me how it is to write songs since I have written many songs and hits throughout 4 decades. I have been wanting to really do a workshop on it.

This is a fun, challenging workshop where the student is informed and enlightened about the elements that comprise good songs and songwriting itself from melodic, structure, lyrics, arrangements, etc.. Classic hits are listened to from all genres and styles of music. The ‘hook’ is discussed and applied at length. Most importantly, the student is challenged to actually write songs during the two day 12 hour workshop.

I have done 29 albums in my life as singer-songwriter and occasional arranger with APO Hiking Society. I have done many other albums as producer for other big artists, and have made many certified critical and commercial hits. I would love to share what I know with anyone who is willing to learn.

When: June 11, 2011
Time: 9AM to 5PM
Where: Venue is at 113 B. Gonzales, Loyola Heights, QC (Street across Miriam College in Katipunan Ave).
Cost: PHP5000

Please call: 4265375 or 09168554303 and ask for Olie to reserve a slot or write me at emailjimp@gmail.com.

Tapping the Creative Universe Workshops by Jim Paredes

TAPPING THE CREATIVE UNIVERSE (TCU) also known as Creative For Life is a workshop that will help uncover, identify and set aside the blocks that stand in the way of creativity in everyday life. By actively engaging self-defeating attitudes and instilling practices that will help the participant overcome them, the workshop hopes to awaken a new way of seeing that will bring back the inner joy and natural creative impulse each person possesses.
