Free Songwriting Mentor Sessions!

Songwriters!

We're excited to announce that starting in November 2016, Larry Beaird will begin offering some FREE Songwriter Mentoring Sessions!

Larry has been researching hit songs for the last 3 years, and he will use this information to show writers how their songs compare to these hits.

Each Mentoring Session will include one 40-minute meeting with Larry (in person or via Skype). Two free spots will be available each month, and participants will be determined by random drawing (selected from email registration each month).

(Writers can also schedule paid mentoring sessions at the rate of $100 per 40-minute meeting.)

To sign up for a chance to win a free Mentoring Session, please email mentor@beairdmusicgroup.com and complete the requirements listed below. The deadline to apply for the November mentoring sessions is October 31, 2016. The November winners’ names will be drawn on November 1, 2016. A new drawing will be held once a month.

Time permitting, each of the songwriters will have a chance to do any or all of the following:

1. Have songs charted by Larry.
2. Discuss musical arrangements* for the song(s).
3. Talk about the music business in general.
4. Receive a tour of our studios (in person or via Skype)

Requirements to participate:

1. Send an email to mentor@beairdmusicgroup.com with the subject 'Mentor Drawing'.
2. Sign up for our studio email updates.
3. Like Beaird Music Group on Facebook.
4. Tell us how you found out about us.
5. If your name is drawn, supply an MP3 and lyric sheet of one song in advance of the mentoring session.

(You are not required to record with us to receive a free mentoring session. Current clients are welcome to apply.)

Dates and times for the Mentoring Sessions will be determined after the writers have been selected each month. We will try to find a date and time that works well for both Larry and each writer.

We wish you the best with your music and look forward to seeing you!

*Arranging of chords to go with voice-only recordings is available for a fee, but not included with the free mentoring session.

Song Transformation


Songwriters!

Hear how an a Capella (or voice-only) worktape can be transformed to sound like a record.  I recommend earbuds or headphones if they're handy. Check it out!

Evening With a Publisher Success Story!

We were excited to hear from a writer that got a cut on Keith Urban's new album, Ripcord!

Jonny Price got signed to a publishing deal with BMG after pitching his songs at one of our Evening With a Publisher events.  Here is the email he just sent to us:

"Hey Larry! I hope all is wonderful with you! I wanted to let you know that I got a cut on Keith Urban's new album RIPCORD coming out this Friday. You and your studio absolutely changed my life and I could never thank you enough but I just wanted to say hello and "thank you" once again. All my best!"
