Christmas Workshop
A 3-hour Video Class

A Music Mentorship Program (MMP)
taught by Eric Owyoung

“This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time I've ever documented a live song arrangement performed in front of an audience.”

 

Join artist and producer Eric Owyoung for a captivating 3-hour video workshop focused on arranging a pre-existing song for Christmas, whether it's intended for a live performance or studio recording. This unique class provides an exclusive opportunity to witness Eric's creative process as he takes a common Christmas song and transforms it into the emotion and beauty of Christmas before your eyes. No application is necessary – just your passion for music and the holiday spirit!

 

$75 for the 3 hour workshop

On September 23, 2023, I hosted a live online workshop as part of my mentorship program, providing a unique glimpse into the creative process. During the session, we began developing an arrangement concept for the song "Noel." Following hours of idea exploration in the workshop, coupled with several days of production work, I'm thrilled to announce that the song is now complete and set for release on November 18, 2023. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time I've ever documented a live song arrangement performed in front of an audience.

The 3-hour video series encompasses the entire journey, including the live workshop, along with additional progress updates that lead up to the final composition.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined me on this remarkable journey. I hope this experience will ignite inspiration and spawn numerous creative ideas for all of us. - Eric
