SONGSHOP
Jai’s monthly Saturday Songshop
has become a place where the next generation of successful
Bay Area songwriters hone their
craft. Graduates have had top 25 Billboard hits,
record deals with major labels,
and songs placed in Hollywood films and network TV shows.
Due to popular demand, Jai will
be adding a second monthly Songshop on Sundays
beginning this fall so more writers
can participate in this breakthrough program.
Registration opens September
18th for the October-January trimester and because of the
addition of a second Songshop
there are still a few spaces available. You can find out
more about Songshop on the Jai
Josefs Saturday Songshop Facebook page, and apply

and
