More Information Thinking of making a CD? Many musicians
record their own CDs, spending a fortune
only to have their recordings end up taking up space in the garage! It is very important to know what you are getting into when you start this journey. Jazz singer Jackie Ryan’s last two CDs reached #1 on the national jazz radio charts and her last CD, Doozy, stayed in the #1 spot for 7 weeks — an amazing accomplishment for a release on an independent label. Jackie will
share the steps and secrets behind making
a successful album: choosing the right
songs and album concept, finding musicians, arrangers and recording studio, and engineering, mixing, marketing, distributing and promoting the finished product.
Jackie will perform several of the songsfrom her last two CDs to demonstrate her choices and will explain why she considered
them to be important. The workshop will
conclude with a Q & A session. Participants are encouraged to bring in one or two songs they are considering recording to be workshopped with Jackie’s pianist.
This workshop will help you focus in on what you want to accomplish with your CD project and will provide helpful hints on how to attain your very special and unique vision.
