What we’re about
Workshops
- If you are a songwriter wanting to achieve success with your song, you can meet with ASCAP affiliated award-winning songwriter Jacques M. Gentil for the next coming workshop which includes a masterclass for critiquing of your song in the making.
- We have 2 types of meetings.
1. A workshop on a weekend where beginners, developing songwriters and also successful songwriters can meet with Jacques and other achievers to show songwriters areas that need to be improved with their songs to attain marketable level. A small fee may or may not apply.
2. A 'free' Live Web-Conferencing workshop every other month on a weekend for a topic presentation and a masterclass where developing songwriters receive feedback from Jacques on their songs in progress. Attendees may also give their feedback. This is a valuable opportunity for songwriters to take and get their craft improved.
- Via web-conferencing, you can play guitar, piano or keyboard or any other instruments, or play a CD that everyone can hear so everyone can assess the songs. However, the song mp3 must be sent to Jacques ahead of the meetup to be played so that everyone can hear. Lyrics can be sent to Jacques or pasted on a virtual whiteboard accessible by anyone wanting to give feedback.
- Sessions run between 2 to 3 hours. We have been running these workshops at songwriters homes since 2003 way before we joined Meetup. We have had wonderful times and we have seen successful song results from songwriters who have been attending our meetups in the past, and we are expecting to see more or it.
This meetup is run by Magesongs Music Network and besides these workshops, from time to time when songwriting classes are run, you may be invited if you are interested to take your songwriting to a professional level.
Jacques M. Gentil (Organizer)
Songwriting Mentor / Awards Winning Songwriter
Join us on our virtual songwriting interactive classes hosted by award-winning songwriter and mentor, Jacques Gentil. Our upcoming classes are tailored for beginners and developing songwriters, singer-songwriters, musicians, performing artists, of all levels who are looking to learn professional tools and techniques to enhance their songwriting skills and collaborate with others in a creative music environment. This webinar style mentoring will focus on writing the marketable way, while leveraging songwriting resources to improve your craft.
Drawing inspiration from successful songwriters as well as our own past students who have achieved success, these classes will combine e-learning techniques with hands-on collaboration from myself and other participants to help you write and record one great song by the end of the program. Whether you're a beginner or experienced songwriter, this is designed to spark creativity and expand your musical horizons. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with other fellow songwriting students, learn all the great techniques that matter to the music industry, and take your songwriting to the next level.
I am Jacques your mentor and I have been helping developing songwriters since 2002 where many of my students have achieved success with their songs in sales, winning songwriters awards, some even signed to online distribution label deals and to music publishers. The course was reshaped through the help of the NEIS program (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) offered by the Australian Government in 2009 after which we moved from face to face classes to use virtual web-conferencing sessions successfully. With the arrival of Zoom recently it has facilitated our task making anyone from anywhere around the world able to participate.
Please note that you do not need to have any knowledge of music theory to learn how to write great songs. Music knowledge can help but isn't necessary.
This program will be split in two groups, one of which I will send a separate invitation. The other group will be targeted at writing purely Christian music. Both groups will be learning the same tools and techniques except that as an award winner Christian songwriter, there are different aspects and approach of lyric writing when it comes to Christian/gospel music.
If you are already a musician, performing artist or songwriter as a part time business, or full time, you can take advantage of this EOFY incentive. If you are not yet a music business owner for tax purposes (songwriter, singer, producer, musician etc), we will show you how to do that and benefit from any music related expenses even if you have a full time job, since this course is geared to establish you as a songwriter at the end of the course.
The cost is $1200, which you are however receiving $100 discount incentive if you are paying upfront (recommended). You have the option of paying $50 as you go also each week prior to each session.
Upon successfully completing this program with all assignments done as well as the song you'll be writing throughout the whole 20 weeks program, your song will be recorded in studio professionally so you can showcase what this course has done for you. We actually want you to complete with an award winning potential song. This is what others have achieved before you.
Please visit www.magesongs.com for more info, and you can read the testimonials from some of our previous students.
You can contact me at admin@magesongs.com if you have any question. I will also send a brochure of the study plan.
Book now via website. Before sending any payment, please get in touch with me. You can RSVP here if you are interested in joining.
There are lots to gain from joining us, so don't miss out.
