Learn to Write Break-Through Songs with Martin Briley* At Workshops Starting this Month

Learn songwriting from Martin Briley, a prolific recording artist, songwriter, vocalist, musician, teacher and lecturer, best-known for his Top 40/MTV hit in the 80's ("Salt In My Tears"). His latest workshop is an absolute must for all songwriters and/or artists, designed to teach them the tenets of good songwriting and composition and help give them the tools and options they need to take their songs from just being "good" to be "brilliant" and "unique."

The course will cover key aspects of writing break-through songs in today's cluttered, competitive market world, including Martin's "Seven Rules of Successful Songwriting" and a review and analysis of hit songs past and present. 

Each participant will also have a chance to work "hands-on" with Martin, during class, on one of their unfinished songs, as well as be given weekly homework assignments which might inspire them to write new songs either solo or in collaboration with other class members. All levels of experience are welcome, only requirement being a basic understanding of either guitar or piano/keyboard.

Five Tuesdays: March 11, 18 & 25; April 1 & 8, 7-9 p.m.

At 853 Seventh Ave Studios (between 54th & 55th)—rear lobby Midtown Manhattan
