Portland Songwriters Association: Talent. Local.

a non-profit organization

Portland Songwriters Association was established to:

1. provide educational and networking opportunities for its membership,
2. to develop the songwriting talents of its members, and
3. to support them in their quest to become great songwriters.

We are committed to the success of songs from every genre and stylistic influence ...from arias to zydeco, and everything in between!

We offer monthly workshops for our members to bring in new works, or works in the making that are listened to by their peers. This provides an opportunity for constructive suggestions by other songwriters in a non-competitive atmosphere.

Our monthly showcases allow members to "showcase"' their new songs in a public arena and get written feedback from our mentors, professional songwriters and performers themselves.

Seminars are offered throughout the year where members can attend and learn techniques about crafting songs, submitting songs to publishers, recording studio techniques and more.

Members of Portland Songwriters Association also receive our quarterly newsletter, the "Great Songwriter", filled with articles, news and information related to songwriting.

Each PSA member gets our membership directory listing information about each person, how to contact, their musical talents, achievements, etc.
