Program description: What inspires you? Is it a delicious meal? A glorious sunset? Perhaps a dear friend's smiling face? Whatever it may be, let's get fired up! In this concert/workshop -- perfect for the NYS Summer Reading Program *Be Creative* and *Express Yourself* themes -- acclaimed singer-songwriter Glen Roethel will perform some of his POSI (positive message) songs to get our juices flowing, then we'll awaken our inner songwriters when Glen guides us with creative exercises to inspire us and help us write our own POSI song. When we're done, we'll make a quick demo recording so that later on Glen can spice it up, post it at GLENROETHEL.COM, INSPIRELINE.COM (and possibly at the POSITIVEMUSICASSOCIATION.COM websites) and even email it to each participant -- iPod ready.
Space/special requirements: Small classroom with chairs in a circle. I will provide everything else: recording equipment, large easel/pad and markers plus handouts and pens.
Travel restrictions:
Program fee: $351- $500
Is this fee negotiable? Yes
Mileage included? Yes
Notes about the fee: I have a sliding scale depending on size of audience, block booking, travel, etc. I can go below the range stated or above it, depending on logistics.
Other notes: As an added bonus, this program is a wonderful way to combat writer's block and inspire your creativity and express yourself.
