This weeks  workshop Pitch-A-Pro with Marci Kowalski

Marci Kowalski was the lead vocalist for the rock band Perpetual Motion for 3 years, and sang BGV's and lead for R&B band The Destination in New York.  She can be heard playing around town at Tooties, Bigshots and the Bluebird.  She now is looking for an edgy jazz/rock (think Amy Winehouse meets Pat Benetar).  She's got a powerful, gritty voice.

Next week(Oct 24th) will be a music education workshop with Denny Sarokin, guitar teacher extraordinaire.

The Banquet was AMAZING this weekend! Hope everybody had fun! Congratulations to the awards winners!

Thanks to Bob Dellaposta and Billy Lee for doing the symposium and to Ash Underwood and Tommy Barnes for being the keynote speakers at the banquet.

A Jack Daniels flask was lost at the Banquet. It has much sentimental value to the owner so if anyone has seen or has it please let us know.

Also, there are still openings for the Songwriting Master Class with Stephen Duncan. The class will be going six weeks and will be closed after tonight.  The class will be held Monday evenings from 7:00PM to 9:00PM at the TSAI office. The format of the class is one hour of critique for everyone, then one hour of curriculum. Last weeks curriculum included some great assignments that will hopefully end up with a commercial song.  The price of the class is $25 per week due the night of the class.

Info for this weeks workshop will follow shortly.

Thanks,

Steve Schneider

Creative Director TSAI
