New CD sampler highlights the work of the
2005 ASCAP Foundation Extended Songwriters Workshop



The 2005 ASCAP Foundation Extended Songwriters Workshop concluded in May with live performances of original songs by all the participants at ASCAP's New York headquarters.

The ASCAP Foundation Extended Songwriters Workshop focuses on the discovery, development and education of a select, advanced group of songwriters, and features prominent guest speakers giving advice on topics including A&R, music publishing, artist management, legal issues, etc. Participants have the opportunity to write and demo-record a new song during the course of the workshop.

The Extended Songwriters Workshop in New York is part of an ongoing series of workshops sponsored by The ASCAP Foundation to nurture and encourage songwriters. There is no fee or charge to participate in the workshop; however, chosen participants were responsible for their own transportation, housing and all other living expenses. The workshop is open to all composers regardless of their current performing rights affiliation.
