Melody In Songwriting - A Dream Comes True

So, what is so BIG deal about Funkie Monkies Pop Music School (FM PMS) "Melody in Songwriting" and "Lyrics Writing" and "Pop Singing" class ?

Yes, it's a BIG deal !!! Coz it is taught by Eric, Xiaohan, Jim and Yuxuan PERSONALLY !!! They are seniors who are very active in local music industry and yet is willing to share their experience personally in a class. My point is ... worth it to attend their classes.

Okie, melody writing classes just started a week ago and it's going to be a 6 months learning. Different students have different objectives in attending the class. Some came to see their idol, some came for exposure, some came for more tips, some came out of curiosity, some came to make friends, some came to seek opportunities ... etc etc etc .. no matter for wat reason, our class of students came because we have a dream, a dream to better our lifestyle in all/any aspects.

Have always wanted to attend a proper songwriting class and get some guidance. 10 years ago, nearly got into a school but was denied the enrolment coz not enuff student to form a class. When I got back to them again, the school has become so popular that I heard the teachers no more teaching themselves but students-graduated-teachers filled up the teaching post.

My point is ... I was really happy that at this age, I could still fulfill my dream 10 years back. Now, it is not only a dream, it is a goal to achieve some results out of the learning from all the masters. Though age is catching up, dreams shall continue and goal set is to be achieved.

JUST DO IT !!!

Feel very inspired after reading this entry of yours.. i've always been interested in song writing but never got around to it.. either a time issue, cost issue, focus issue and whatever issue... told myself that i am too old to drag this any longer, eric said in his reply to my response on his blog "just got to start somewhere" an so i did! i too thought that aiyah so old liao, who will care about us? all eyes are on the youngsters cos they got more prospects etc.... i hope to write songs not for fame la, just hope to do something and have something which i can call my own :) so, i signed up for the melody writing course already! but going for the 4th batch starting later part of the yr.. hee.. looking forward!

hello fren, yah true enough sometime we just have to get things going. Eric gave good advices.

Glad that you have signed up for the course. I'm currently attending the course and many many many useful tips. I suggest while you are waiting for the commencement of the course, start to pick up some simple chords playing and listen and appreciate to many many many songs, tear them apart and appreciate.

Yah, music has nothing to do with age lah. Just take it up as a hobby. Anyway, in Singapore, besides work, I think everyone should spice up their life with something else. If not, we will really end up robots trying to earn money. Haaa !!!

Yeah yeah, used to sing in ai qing hai.

Btw, do visit this link if you have time ... hohoho
