Welcome to another edition of Songsalive! Songnotes > our crafty newsletter for everything you need to know about the craft and business of songwriting.
We've had such an amazing July, I cannot tell you. I literally cry with joy as I think about it. We created a new mobile app (and refreshed entire backstage for songwriter members) and it's literally been awesome. Our engagement has gone through the roof, old members have come back, and every single day we're critiquing songs for each other, sharing song leads, and chatting online. There's a recap below on how engaging backstage has been for our songwriters. It's everything I wanted in Songsalive! 20 years ago when it started, but the Internet hadn't caught up. And now, we have exactly what I wanted for all of us. I do hope you've had a chance to log in to backstage and enjoy the party. Can't wait to see you there. Also last month we also had a fabulous Songcamp in Los Angeles with 25 bright and talented songwriters co-writing together. 4 songs were created and many new friendships. View the short video of the day. We promise to do this again soon!
We have a lot of exciting things this month of August. Sunday 19th Aug is our next LA Songsalive! Song Critique Workshop (yes it's back!) but earlier this coming Tuesday is the OC Showcase. Every Tues night we have an open mic in New York also. We have a gazillion songleads in our Songshop Program. And I've written a new blog called DEMYSTIFYING THE SONG COPYRIGHT PROCESS below. Lastly, it's not too late to join the Songsalive! Summer Songwriting Challenge.

Have you watched videos in Songcraft yet?
Self-led online learning through an amazing ONLINE VIDEO SERIES
Take control of your learning and power up with some light and heavy reading! Self-service access to some of the best songwriting and music biz articles as well as watch videos from our Master teachers. Topics include songwriting, lyric writing, pitching and the BIZ!
We created this because many of our members are not near a chapter to attend an in-person workshop. So we deliver it to you virtually. How cool is that?!
How does it work? Videos and online content are posted under Songcraft in our backstage app, to up your craft and music biz know-how. New content added regularly. Includes some courses valued at over $150 each elsewhere.
Get your headphones on, grab a notebook and turn up the volume.
Many songwriters do not understand about Copyright. But it is the THE most important thing to know, and the least amount of hassle to learn it.
When you write a song, it is your intellectual property. It is yours. But how do you protect others from stealing your ideas or how do you prove that you wrote it in a court of law? Songsalive! is going to demystify 5 song copyright assumptions for you and respond with simple truths.
Watch what happens when songwriters collaborate and co-write
The best songwriter needs inspiration. At Songsalive! We offer a special program for songwriters to collaborate, co-write and get outside the box. Watch how we do it. The Songsalive! Songcamp. Speed writing at its best. Watch some short videos on our Songcamps in action.
