From Kenny: I am looking forward to presenting the music production workshop on January 19th, and I’m excited to be part of the first online workshop for WCS where I’ll join y’all from my studio in Nashville. This particular workshop came to be in response to a repeated theme during song screenings, and that theme was that production really needs to be considered when pitching songs—both for artists and licensing opportunities. High quality production is now expected in all arenas of the music industry, and this even includes demos. We will be picking 3 songs(maybe more if we have time) from demos you send in to discuss in terms of how I would approach them from a production standpoint: a style I’d imagine the song in, instruments and sounds I’d use, composition, arrangement, etc. Even if we don’t choose your song, there is plenty to learn listening to ideas I might apply to the chosen songs, as the concepts I use that are specific to one song also contain general principles I apply to any song I am working on. I hope to give you ideas that you can use to better plan end results of your songs as you begin to write them—a mindset of imagining what a song can become, not just what it is in terms of lyrics and chords.
