State-wide music mentoring program returns with sights set on Goulburn talent
Following a successful first visit earlier this year, a State-wide music industry mentoring program is again setting its sights on emerging talent in and around Goulburn, with a songwriting intensive in January. The SongMakers Holiday Sessions are presented by national music organisation, APRA AMCOS, as part of the Office for Regional Youth Holiday Break program in partnership with Create NSW.
Mon 16 & Tues 17 January 2023 (10am-4pm & 10am-5pm), Hume Conservatorium, Goulburn
FREE places are being provided to 16 locals, aged 16-21, to participate in the program. They will spend 2 days writing and recording songs and learning about music careers with inspiring Australian professionals. Interested creatives are invited to email Giselle Newbury, Outreach and Communications Manager, Hume Conservatorium for details about securing a place at the workshop: [email protected]. In a Goulburn-first innovation for the State-wide program, there will be a 3rd mentoring day, a by-invitation masterclass for the region’s emerging young rock bands.
Tina Broad, SongMakers Project Lead, APRA AMCOS: “We have selected Goulburn as one of the few return locations for the program because we were just blown away by the standard of writing and playing at the last workshop. We can’t wait to return to work again with the budding musos of the area and support the great work at Hume Conservatorium. We look forward to keeping the connections going with new mentors, each of whom brings a terrific depth of industry experience.”
Workshop mentors include artist/producer and festivals favourite, Ninajirachi, who has collaborated with Kota Banks, Nina Las Vegas, and Flight Facilities and has just returned from a professional development trip in the US. DVNA (pronounced “Dana”) is a Gold Coast multi-instrumentalist writer/artist/producer. Her tour credits include Baker Boy, she has been a triple j feature artist, showcased at national industry conference, Big Sound, and is a QMusic Awards finalist.
