Collective Songwriting

Tap into the next level of your creative potential! Participate in a series of freeform exercises that allow for the experience of music creation. Explore the songwriting process and learn how to apply creative thinking to business, team building and personal life. With help from your music director, you will write lyrics, craft ideas for song structure and mood, and take with you an original you helped to create.

This program is created for, but not limited to:

  • Keynote Speaker presentations
  • Team-building exercises
  • Half day and full day workshops
  • Parties or retreats
  • Custom and themed songs for individuals, companies, schools or charitable organizations

Songwriting isn't just for Musicians

Partnership

Sponsors

As part of the first phase of The MIC network launch, we are focusing on two major initiatives:

  • A highly publicized Band Experience promotional campaign in multiple cites around the US
  • Interactive and educational "music creation experiences" to supplement music programs in schools

Donors

We have allied with Synervision Foundation, a 501C3 to host "music creation experiences" for youth programs and charitable organizations and to support the launch of our non-profit, the "Free the Music Project."

Partners

Much like the business incubator model, our first creative career center will house recording and film studios, gallery, workshop and event space, office and meeting space, and an in house network of creative professionals to provide a "one-stop shop" for the community. Partner with us to build our first location in San Diego, California and then expand to cities around the nation.
