Jon has found an effective way to share much of what he’s figured out over the past 20 years in a 2 1/2 hour workshop.



1st Hour Segment - Tools for song writing

12 or so easy things that unlock your song writing ability or make your song writing better.

"Jon’s tools for song writing helped me realize that song writing really is simple…I was writing songs in no time...and that changed my life." (No one really said this, Jon just made it up to look good!).

Refreshment break

2nd Hour Segment - More song writing secrets revealed

   —  Using phone numbers and the circle of fifths to get cool cord progressions
   —  How to vary left-hand accompaniments
   —  How to play by ear
   —  Question & answer period
   —  Much, much more...

The workshop is for students age 12 years and older with some piano experience (or a strong recommendation from a piano teacher). The price is $35. Seminars are now being scheduled along the Wasatch Front (Provo, Salt Lake, Ogden) at local music stores.



**Note to teachers: Why will you want to get your students to attend? Because all participants will be carefully indoctrinated (i.e., methodically brainwashed) that the better they become at playing the piano the better song writers they will become. Teachers are likewise encouraged to attend at a 10% discount.

***Note to music stores: If you are a sheet music store in or outside the state of Utah that might be interested in hosting one of these seminars, please contact us at seminars@jonschmidt.com.
