You find yourself with ideas for some songs or an audiobook. You would love to make that idea become a full-fledged production. But how?

In this panel we'll talk about music production, how songs go from rough demo to full-fledged tracks and what role engineers and producers play. We'll talk about the current state of the music business and the risks and rewards of putting out music and audio tracks in the age of streaming. We'll also discuss what to expect and how to prepare for working with a studio and/or a producer to make your project come to life.

From guitar jamming to drum circles to freeform improv and beyond, there's something special about bringing people together to just make music. But how do you do it?

In this workshop, we'll explore ideas and techniques for making unplanned music together. We'll look at different ways of finding unique things to add to enhance the jam and when to use them, how to start, move, and stop together as a group and more. We hope to have something fun here for everyone whether you are just starting out or a long-time improv fan. Those who bring an instrument (even if it's just yourself) may have the opportunity to participate and have fun making music together.
