The Association of Music Professionals (AMP) in cooperation with the Dominica state College and with funding from the Government of Dominica put on a course in songwriting which was facilitated by Swedish songwriter Aleena Gibson.
The course was held over a four-day period from April 26th to April 29th at the Dominica State College which delivered certificates to the 34 participants.
Participants were asked to rate the course using different criteria and the evaluation results were as follows:
Questions:
1. Overall, the course was good =95%
2. The Topics on the Course were useful=90%
3. The length of the course was good =80%
4. The instructor on the course was good =99%
5. The course facilities was good =85%
6. The course venue was good =89%
Total Average rate =90%
Additionally many persons reported that creating songs in a collaborative setting was an eye opener and that sessions like this should be continued by the participants since it was their view that being able to bounce ideas off each other made the songs which they created more interesting.
Gibson promised to pitch the songs created during the course to serious persons in the music publishing business with the intention of getting one or more placements with recording artists looking for new material to record.
AMP’s next training course is on music production and studio engineering and is due to run from the 17th to the 27th of May and will be facilitated by multiple JUNO (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy’s) award winning engineer and producer L. Stu Young of Toronto Canada.
Persons, male and/or female, who wish to participate in this course are asked to register early by visiting the offices of DEXIA on Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard opposite the Roseau fisheries complex at the earliest.
