Musicians of all age and skill levels are invited to a free music seminar on Saturday, November 22. The event, which starts at 9:30 am and runs until 4:00 pm, will be held at Full Compass (9770 Silicon Prairie Parkway). A free lunch will also be served in the Full Compass cafeteria.

The event includes a variety of tracks: guitar and drum clinics; how to make a good recording in the digital age; ways to get your band noticed; composition and improvisation; preserving a musicians greatest asset – hearing; process of song writing; the legal side of the music business; making the most of practicing, rehearsing and performing; and panel discussions on publishing, royalties, copyright, contracts, artist management and touring.”
Dennis Graham and Associates is the producer of Launchpad, the annual statewide music competition for high-school bands. He works in conjunction with the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) and the Les Paul Foundation. Full Compass has hosted the event for several years running.
Sponsors include Yamaha, Nicholas Family Foundation, Les Paul Foundation, TVW, Tilt Media, Maximum Ink, Sherwood Press, 94.1 WJJO FM, 93.1 HOT JAMZ, The Zone 1670 AM/106.7 FM, Q106, Theodore W. Batterman Family Foundation, Courtier Foundation and Wisconsin State Journal/77 Square.
