Los Angeles College of Music (LACM) announces the first ever offering of “Weekend Xperience 2015,” new workshops beginning in June designed for the professional development of serious musicians. LACM’s “Weekend Xperience” programs are designed to offer music industry professionals, independent artists and music enthusiasts an opportunity to develop skills and enrich their knowledge with intensive workshops in a variety of relevant subjects. “Weekend Xperience 2015” will offer three sessions with four program options, which will cover Songwriting, Music Production, Composing for Film & Television and Artist Development. Each weekend workshop runs Friday – Sunday and is structured to accommodate those with busy schedules.

Workshops are led by a faculty that includes LACM faculty and staff as well as working professionals from major record labels, professional artist development agencies, recording studios, publishing and licensing companies, and more. Each workshop has a pre-scheduled structure of events, but the itinerary allows for “open counseling” sessions where participants can book additional time with faculty members to discuss their existing projects, review material, or receive career advice on topics including artist branding, marketing, tour strategy and more. 

LACM’s Weekend Xperience programs include a choice of Songwriting or Music Production (Weekend 1: June 12-14), Composing for Film and TV (Weekend 2: August 14-16), and Artist Development (Weekend 3: November 6-8).  Costs for each “Weekend Xperience” program are $495 per weekend. Each session can be taken individually or a multi-session discount is available. 

LACM was recently named one of “The 20 Best Music Conservatories in the U.S.” by TheBestSchools.org. Of the contemporary music programs listed on the rankings, LACM ranks #1 on the West Coast.
