January 13th NSAI Central Arkansas Monthly Workshop

Wednesday, January 10, 2024 - 10:58am

This month's Workshop Topics:

Information: Understanding the Nashville Number System
Application: What's Your Dream and Pursuing It
Participation: Listening to Your Songs

INFORMATION:
Years of studio work and playing for different people were only possible because I understood the Nashville Number System. I have found it has helped my songwriting immensely!! I will be showing you an easy way to understand the NNS! It's just another tool in the songwriting toolbox that can help you be creative when your instrument isn't around. This will be an opportunity for class participation, so it will be fun!

APPLICATION:
Dreams are what keep people going. They give hope and help us find our purpose. What is your dream for your songwriting? If you could do anything with your songwriting, what would it be? Songwriting is tough. There are times when there is more rejection than acceptance. But the dream keeps the pen and pencil moving on paper to become a better songwriter. Dreams aren't the same as goals.

Note from Don Tucker

Saturday, May 6, 2023 - 10:57am

Effective June 1 I will be retiring as coordinator for the NSAI Central Arkansas chapter. I will remain a member and offer my support to the chapter and attend meetings when I can. I have 3 grandkids in the 10-11 age range, and want to attend their soccer games, etc, which are usually on Saturdays. I’ve missed a bunch, and they are growing fast! Paul and Casey will be joined by Charles Barnes as a coordinator. We welcome Charles to the fold, he has been very supportive for our chapter over the past year. I’ve enjoyed being a member since 2010 and coordinator since 2015. You will probably still see me at Songwriter showcase events as a volunteer for the show and The Joint. Thanks to all of you for being supportive of myself and the other coordinators over the years, we have a great community of local songwriters. Our mission has been to offer songwriting education , networking and a place for people to get their songs heard. Thanks to all!
Don
