Jai has been coaching and mentoring songwriters for over 40 years and he's also written with nine different writers that have had #1 hits. There are distinctions in the way hit writers and his most successful students create their songs that are different from the way others do. In this workshop, Jai will illustrate those distinctions in the areas of melody, lyrics, groove, and basic songwriting philosophy using concrete before and after examples. And he'll show you how you can immediately start applying those techniques to your own writing.
